Bachelor of Music Theatre

This three-year degree will give you the skills needed to succeed in several branches of the performing arts.

You'll gain practical experience in performance and production work in key theatre disciplines such as acting, singing and dance, as well as studies in spoken voice, music theory, theatre history, technical theatre skills and research methods.

From the second year, you'll learn to integrate the skills acquired in your first year. In the final year, most assessment is performance focused with the option to pursue an independent capstone project of your own design. This project allows for work-integrated learning in industry settings-including the possibility of working in professional productions-and further specialisations to develop other, related skills within the worlds of applied theatre and theatre for the stage. You'll learn from experienced performers and teachers who are dedicated to helping you make the most of your career.
