About

The course gives students the opportunity to explore, examine and contextualise contemporary and collaborative performance making, whilst creating and developing their own performance work and practice. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on individual skills development (be that acting, movement, voice or directing/choreography). Students will be encouraged to expand their artistic horizons and develop entrepreneurial skills to successfully take ownership of their future. There are extensive links with the Creative Industries, via visiting professionals, practitioners, lecturers (Gravity) and public performance opportunities in a range of established professional venues, such as the Courtyard Theatre in Hereford, as well as alternative and innovative spaces.

Fee Information

In addition to the degree fees, the nature of creative arts practice means you will need to allow for some additional costs, such as for materials you choose to use in the production of work and activities, and for trips to external events and exhibitions. The courses at HCA have been designed to minimise the impact of additional costs; all course leaders have an annual budget and some trips and materials will be fully funded by the college or heavily subsidised. However, typically, a student will choose to spend an additional £400 in their final year, depending on scale of work and materials chosen or other related costs. Students spend different amounts depending on the areas in which they specialise and individual choices. We appreciate that not all students will be able to invest the same money in their work, and staff assessing it will not judge work by the cost of materials or other resources. The college shop includes many specialist materials at good value prices and much digital equipment can be borrowed from the media stores at no cost to students. All students at HCA are offered an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription for use outside of college hours. In the 2019-20 academic year this cost was £16.24 per month. Please note Adobe Creative Cloud is provided free to use for any student working within the college. Students on all courses will also have the chance to take part in optional trips that require payments towards their costs. Again, non-attendance will not incur assessment penalties, though trips are designed to help students develop their practice. There is an optional annual cross-course residential trip abroad. In the 2019 -20 academic year, the destination was Copenhagen and the cost to students was £385. Support Available From Hereford College of Arts Progression Bursary: A progression bursary of £250 (£125 per year for part-time students) is available to students from our progression partner colleges* who have successfully completed their Level 5 or equivalent course within the last 2 academic years and progress on to a top-up degree programme at Hereford College of Arts. *Partner colleges include NWRC Derry & Evesham College (Warwickshire College Group).
