Course Details – Assessment Method
This degree integrates theory and practice in a range of delivery modes between modules. This is reflected in the different assessments used for each module.
Practical assessments could be in the form of presentations (performing in or directing a show, for example), painting a set or designing lights or costumes, writing a script, managing a production, or performing a stand-up set. In addition practical oral presentations – either individual or group – are used. First year assessments place weighting on continuous assessment – the learning and development of process over a period of weeks. There are also final year modules where student agree a range of activities as a ‘portfolio’ of assessment appropriate to the individual specialism.

Standard Qualification Requirements
Maximum AS Points accepted: 20.
All applicants should possess the following essential qualities:
Evidence of an enthusiastic and sustained interest in Musical Theatre.
Good performance skills - vocal, physical and intellectual - appropriate to the demands of the working practices on the course.
Time management, as you will have to work to show deadlines on a regular basis.
Flexibility: we often rehearse and perform in the evenings and at weekends.
These qualities will be assessed through an interview and an audition after having initially been assessed from your UCAS application. Your initial UCAS application will inform our decision on whether to offer you an interview and audition, but will by no means wholly inform our decision on whether to offer you a place to study Musical Theatre or not. Therefore, any information that you can give on your UCAS form which allows us to get a sense of how well you manage your time, how engaged you are with external activities and how proactive you have been in seeking out interesting challenges (of all sorts!) and creative engagements would be very useful as they will inform the above-mentioned essential criteria.
At least 9 Distinctions and 36 Merits, or any other combination that equates to 104 UCAS Tariff points.
