About Performance - BA/ba (hons) in Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh

Focusing on the breadth of forms that performance can take, the course will be of interest to those who wish to explore the potential of performance beyond the conventional modes and spaces with which it is most traditionally associated.

This course offers a placement opportunity. 

This course is particularly suited to those who wish to pursue a career through applied performance practice (education, community outreach, independent performance making, directing, producing etc). For those interested in pursuing a career as a professional actor, we would instead recommend our BA/BA (Hons) Acting and Performance course.

Employability is built into the course through modules like Creative Practice and Enterprise, as well as through the practical skills taught to students and the transferable skills of research, communication and independent learning that are delivered across the curriculum. Students are encouraged to liaise with QMU’s careers service to identify further opportunities for professional and personal development.
