What you studyDramaFine ArtCreative WritingDesignJournalismMedia and Communication Studies
What it isYou study acting and performance, learning technique, character work, and stagecraft through classes and frequent performances. The BFA is a specialized, more intensive degree focused entirely on theatre and performance, while the BA lets you combine acting with other university subjects. This suits people who want hands-on training in acting and are ready to spend significant time rehearsing and performing.Creative Industries is an interdisciplinary program that brings together writing, design, journalism, and media studies so you can understand how creative work actually gets made and distributed in the real world. Rather than studying each of these fields separately, you learn how they connect and influence each other across publishing, advertising, broadcasting, and digital platforms. It suits people who want to work in media, publishing, or design but aren't sure yet which specific role fits them best.
