Description

This unique degree introduces you to creative, practical and organisational approaches to devising a range of exciting live events from street performances to product launches; from installations to community celebrations. The programme helps you to find ways of making extraordinary acts of imagination come to life.

During your degree, you might project images onto architecture; transform vacant buildings into realms of the strange; make processions with giant puppets; create a personalised rite of passage; or launch a ship. You learn and deploy many vocational approaches and skills, and develop teamworking methods, problem-solving strategies, and great communication skills. You will also come to understand what these spectacles and experiences contribute to our culture and our public life; you will investigate their contexts and effects.

We have dedicated design, production and presentation facilities in a number of converted period buildings on The Historic Dockyard, Chatham. These include an equipped AV theatre, a state-of-the-art lighting rig, design software on Intel iMacs and a construction/making space. We involve many professionals in delivering the course, ensuring that it is as current and relevant as possible.

Careers

Our programme gives you the confidence to pursue your own ideas and the ability to communicate those ideas effectively to others. We teach you how to work to tight deadlines and how to operate within high-pressure situations.

Potential careers include: creative events design, celebratory arts worker (designing carnivals and similar events), party planner/wedding designer, designer of corporate events, brand events and launches, performance production or stage manager, designer of educational or heritage events, conference organiser, arts administrator, and culture/arts/tourism officer. Careers in advertising, design, performance, communications, and retail are also open to you.
