BA Theatre and Performance with Enterprise

University of Leeds, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

A degree in Theatre and Performance with Enterprise equips you with valuable subject knowledge, cultural awareness, understanding of the performance and cultural industries, and core principles and practices of business and entrepreneurship. It also gives you transferable skills that are particularly attractive to employers, such as leadership, working as part of a creative team (collaboration), presentational and organisational skills, people and resources management, critical analysis, negotiation and conflict resolution, and digital creativity.

As well as your understanding of performance and the theories behind it, you'll develop strong research and analytical skills. You'll be a confident communicator who can clearly present and defend your point of view, either verbally or in writing. 

You'll be able to collaborate with others or work independently, and you'll understand how your experiences on the course and in co-curricular activities can translate to future employment opportunities.

The skills and knowledge you develop in enterprise will also give you the confidence to explore opportunities for self-employment, and you'll acquire the skillset to start up your own business.
