EXTENDED DIPLOMAIN PERFORMING ARTSACCREDITED BY UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS LONDON AWARDING BODY

Providing an invaluable window into the world of the Performing Arts, the Pre-Foundation course is designed for students who have a passion for music, acting, dance or singing, but don’t have the skills or experience necessary to apply directly onto our Music or Drama

Foundation courses.

As a student on this course, you will be exposed to a broad range of performance genres and styles across the arts whilst developing key skills in a specialism of your choice: Music or Drama. Regardless of your chosen specialism, the Pre-Foundation course is rich with opportunities to hone your communication skills, to explore and develop the expressive potential of your voice and body, to expand your knowledge, understanding and personal

experience of the historical, theoretical, technical, practical and creative aspects of the performing arts, and to discover first-hand both the demands and the joys of working in an

ensemble to create work that you are proud to put before an audience.

Students who are successful on this course may apply to progress onto either the Music or Drama Foundation courses, but are subject to the same audition procedures and standards

as students applying directly to those courses. With hard work and dedication, however, it is possible for any Pre-Foundation student to move onto this next key stage of their growth and

development as performing artists.

AWARD

If you decide to leave at the end of the 1st year, upon successful completion, you will be awarded the UAL Diploma in Performing & Production Arts, which attracts 100, 160 and 210

UCAS tariff points for pass, merit and distinction grades respectively. In your second year you will move into either the Music or Drama Foundation and at the end of the second year

upon successful completion, you will be awarded the UAL Extended Diploma in Performing & Production Arts.
