**This Foundation Degree course comprises the first two years of a conventional three-year BA degree and is designed to develop your specialist skills and knowledge for the performance industry. It aims to provide students with a ‘toolbox’ of intellectual and practical skills, including a working knowledge of the technical, administrative and professional competencies needed to succeed within the industry.** **This Foundation Degree in Arts (FdA) is awarded by our chief university partner - Nottingham Trent University.** **About the course** There is a strong practical element to this course, allowing for a mixture of skills-based classwork and projects. Students cover a range of topics: combining technical training, creative workshops, performance opportunities and academic skills. Students are encouraged to explore a variety of acting styles, influences and contexts in order to become a confident and versatile performer. **Indicative first year modules include:** - Performance skills - Performance: context and history - Media Performance - 1 (radio acting) - The Physical Actor **Indicative second year modules include:** - Media Performance - 2 (screen and TV acting) - Own projects (developing original work) - Creating Performance - Production Company We work with and have close links with local and national industry stakeholders including: Royal National Theatre, ITV, Nottingham Playhouse, Lakeside Theatre, Dragon's Breath Theatre Company, Nonsuch, Flying High Expressive Arts and La Pelle's Factory to name just a few. We also work closely with students from other disciplines (from both inside the college and outside) on a range of collaborative projects. **New City Hub campus** The Performing Arts department is based at our new £58 million City Hub campus in Nottingham City Centre’s Canalside area with brand new, state of the art facilities. This includes a range of specially-designed rehearsal studios for both acting and dance, as well as a 200-seat theatre space with fully-functional wardrobe and workshop facilities and state of the art lighting and sound. In addition to this, students will have access to the TV studio in the nearby Adams Building, as well as a high- quality learning resource centre.

There are no examinations. **Bursaries** We want our courses to be accessible to students from any background, so we’ve put together a cash support package in the form of non-repayable bursaries to provide financial help where it’s really needed.
