Music with Theatre and Performance, BA (Hons)

The course is a perfect blend of music and theatre with a strong emphasis on performance. It is designed to train musicians and performers in a mixture of academic, creative and practical skills, to instil broad and specialist knowledge and understanding of musical and theatrical repertories, and to develop students as independent critical thinkers. In theatre you will develop your own creative work, experiment with devising performance work from scratch and explore and develop playwriting and directing skills. You will also be encouraged to venture beyond the artistic and understand how producers, marketing managers and artistic directors work within the industry and explore community theatre and practice on a local and international level.At Bangor you will be part of a thriving music and performance community, performing and attending music and theatrical performances at Powis Hall, John Phillips Theatre and the magnificent Prichard-Jones Hall. You will enjoy unrivalled facilities in our arts and innovation centre, Pontio, which includes a Studio Theatre for performance with technical support from industry professionals. Pontio also features the 450-seat Theatre Bryn Terfel which regularly attracts world-class theatre productions and musical events. You will also benefit from Bangor’s close links with local and national theatre companies, and music and theatre practitioners who regularly visit and offer workshops and masterclasses.‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you.
