Foundation Degree in Performance and Events Production

An award of the University of Teesside delivered in partnership with Stockton Riverside College.

Course Information:

The Foundation Degree in Performance and Events Production is a two-year programme specifically designed to produce articulate, multi-skilled Performing Arts practitioners thoroughly prepared to directly enter the Industry or move on to ‘top-up’ to a third year BA(Hons) award.

Students specialise in a chosen art form of either dance, drama or music in which they will have already displayed a level of expertise and accomplishment. Alongside further study and practice in their chosen art form, the programme also provides hands-on instruction and experience in areas such as arts administration and technical production, the historical and contemporary role of the Performing Arts in society, and vital work-related experience.

The programme provides enormous opportunities for individual and ensemble performance in a variety of regional venues, and is delivered from within the Stockton Riverside College School of Arts and Media which holds the prestigious CoVE (Centre of Vocational Excellence) status.

Entry requirements:
