Studying Performing Arts at Otago gives you a rare opportunity to study more than one performing art form – music, theatre and dance – blended into a single degree.

Throughout the Bachelor of Performing Arts (BPA), you'll be guided to develop your knowledge and skills in areas such as acting, dance, directing, devising, music performance (singing or instrument), composition, songwriting, technical production, and the theoretical and historical foundations of theatre, music and dance.

Bachelor of Performing Arts students train and perform in a fully equipped theatre, as well as music and dance studios and performance spaces.

The BPA is a three-year full-time course of study. It is made up of a minimum of 20 papers. Most of these papers are music (MUSI), theatre (THEA), dance (DANC) and performing arts (PERF), but there is sufficient room in the degree to choose five papers in other subjects.
The flexible nature of the degree allows different study pathways and multiple specialisations.
