They will also engage with well-being practices for a holistic preparation to more advanced learning and work in a complex industry. Following the successful progression from their first year, students have the opportunity to advance their training in four specific areas within the performance, design, technical and management domains. Students will also develop entrepreneurial skills, and be given a work-based learning opportunity within a related private or public entity. They will also learn basic skills for performing in front of a camera. Ultimately, students will be able to apply all their skills in the production and presentation of a performance.
