Description

Whether you see yourself as an artist, designer, performer, media practitioner, or your interests lie in literary studies or creative writing, the School of The Arts at The University of Northampton will help you make the most of your talents. Our aim is to provide a vibrant, stimulating and supportive environment where you are able to experiment and explore new ideas while working to fulfil your true creative and intellectual potential. We offer excellent facilities and flexible programmes of study where students are encouraged to work within and across disciplinary boundaries and to develop their skills and imagination while enjoying their studies.

Home to five degrees, the Division of Performance Studies foregrounds the exploration of contemporary arts practices across a range of fields as well as drawing upon the traditions that inform them. The degrees in Acting, Music, Dance, Drama and Performance are taught by practitioners/academics which ensures that not only do students benefit from their expertise but they are fully aware of current debates with-in the creative industries.

Given the practical nature of the divisional degrees, students spend on average 70% of their degree in a workshop environment. This practical approach is supported by an exciting series of lecturers and discussion based seminars that allow the students to acquire a broader understanding of their subject area.
