THE University Campus Barnsley’s BA in acting for touring theatre is now officially validated by Sheffield Hallam University.
The one year full-time course is designed to prepare actors and creative artists for the launch of their career in the theatre industry.
Essentially working within a theatre company, the course allows students to build traditional skills that agents or casting directors are looking for.
Students will also work with other professional theatre companies and have the opportunity to take their work on tour, providing them with firsthand work experience to prepare them for the world of work after completing their course.
Peter Lawton, leader for performing arts at UCB, said: “We are proud to present this one year top-up degree acting course, designed to give students the opportunity of becoming fully-fledged actors and creative artists.”
Dr Henry Bell, performance studies lecturer at Sheffield Hallam added: “We’re delighted to be working with UCB on this innovative course.
“We want to promote performing arts education across the region and this degree allows young people who want to perform and are interested in touring theatre the opportunity to do so.”
