Bachelor of Performance and Theatre - Acting (099430D) at University of Wollongong: Tuition: $26,592.00 AUD/year (Scholarship Available)

The Bachelor of Performance and Theatre at UOW is a highly practical course that will prepare students for a career in the performing arts and broader creative industries. Students will learn the techniques, strategies and processes of contemporary theatre-making and performance in a range of contexts.

Complementing the practical aspects of their degree, students will undertake core subjects in the history and theory of theatre, as well as core subjects including professional practice. Students will also have the opportunity to undertake electives or a minor study in associated areas such as stage management and sound and lighting design, as well as creative writing, audio production or media arts among others. All students participate in producing and performing in their own productions throughout their degree, thereby gaining industry-relevant experience.

Undertaking the Acting major will see students develop as a self-reliant and highly skilled performing artist through UOW’s practice-based program. Students will learn to apply acting skills and theoretical knowledge to contemporary performance and theatre. Subjects will cover traditional interpretive actor training, crafting their skills in acting, voice, singing and movement, with a focus on contemporary playwriting and devised works for theatre and performance. Students will be involved in the development, rehearsal and performance of theatre productions, allowing students to mature as an actor as they work with a range of methodologies and theatre genres.

Entry into the Acting major is based on a combination of both academic results and audition scores. Students will be required to audition to demonstrate their talent and potential to benefit from the course. Students will be invited to register for an audition as part of the application process.
