What you study	Drama Fine Art	Drama Fine Art Music
What it is	This is a four-year degree focused on training you as an actor and performer for stage, screen, and other venues. You study acting techniques, voice, movement, script analysis, and theatre history alongside practical production work. Unlike a general drama program, this is a direct-entry BFA that commits you to performance-focused training from the start rather than exploring broader theatre studies or design. It suits people who want intensive hands-on training in acting and are ready to audition for a specialized performance stream.	You study drama, fine art, and music together, exploring creative expression across all three disciplines rather than choosing one. This program combines artistic training with a focus on how creative practices can support mental health and wellbeing in communities. It suits people who want to make art their path but also care about its impact on people and society.
