Like any industry, the performing arts are bound and organised by laws and practices. This degree combines the study of performing arts with the expertise of a law degree, giving students a range of careers options. In the Performing Arts component you will study a drama and theatre studies major, a core performance sequence and another first-year-level performing arts sequence.
In addition to completing the core requirements of the law degree, students can choose from a range of law electives including commercial law, intellectual property and workplace and employment law. Applicants will usually be required to participate in an audition.
Combining performing arts with law gives graduates a range of career opportunities such as entertainer, artist manager, producer and entertainment industry lawyer.
