What you studyHistoryMusicAncient Middle Eastern LanguagesClassical Greek StudiesClassical StudiesClassics
What it isYou study opera performance and its history, learning singing technique, stagecraft, and the music and stories behind famous operas. This is a diploma rather than a degree, so it's shorter and more focused on practical performance skills than a full university music program. It suits singers who want professional training in opera specifically and are ready to work intensely on voice and stage presence.Humanities is the study of human culture, history, ideas, and expression through subjects like history, philosophy, literature, classics, and religious studies. You choose courses across these fields rather than specializing in just one, so you develop a broad understanding of how societies, texts, and beliefs have shaped each other over time. This suits people curious about why humans think and act as they do, who enjoy reading and discussion, and who want flexibility to explore before narrowing down.
