Licence en musique et théâtre (avec mention)

About This Course

This degree is an ideal blend of music and drama with a strong emphasis on practice. It is designed to train musicians and drama-based makers in a mixture of academic, creative and practical skills, to instill broad and specialist knowledge and understanding of musical and theatrical repertories, and to develop students as independent critical thinkers. In drama you will develop your own creative work, experiment with devising performance work from scratch and explore and develop playwriting, directing, media training and acting skills.

You will also be encouraged to venture beyond the artistic and understand how producers, marketing managers and artistic directors work within the industry and explore professional practice on a local and international level.

At Bangor you will be part of a thriving music and performance community, performing and attending music and theatrical performances at Powis Hall, John Phillips Theatre and the magnificent Prichard-Jones Hall. You will enjoy unrivalled facilities in our arts and innovation centre, Pontio, which includes a Studio Theatre for performance with technical support from industry professionals. Pontio also features a Cinema and the 450-seat Theatre Bryn Terfel which regularly attracts world-class theatre productions, the latest films and musical events. You will also benefit from Bangor’s close links with local and national theatre and film companies, and music and drama practitioners who regularly visit and offer workshops and masterclasses.
