Studying Dance at Bath Spa University provides you with an opportunity to immerse yourself in an exciting and challenging artistic environment. The course is focused on helping you build the skills you need to become a versatile, creative, and articulate dance professional.

The undergraduate programme prepares you for a range of careers in the creative industries by giving you the opportunity to develop the technical, creative and performance skills needed to become a confident and highly skilled individual. You have the opportunity to work in different venues, network with professionals, and to undertake a work placement that prepares you to become a dance professional. In your third year, you complete a digital portfolio, including a web site, that promotes yourself as a dance professional. On graduating, you may choose to study further at postgraduate level or to find work as a choreographer, performer, teacher, filmmaker, community dance practitioner, independent dance artist, dance administrator, starting your own company, or a combination of more than one area of interest. Since 2010, graduates have moved into roles that include dance teachers in schools (primary, secondary), lecturers in further education, choreographers, dance company and solo performers, filmmaking, running a dance company/school, making and performing work as an independent dance artist, continuing in education, dance therapy, community dance practitioners, digital media specialists, events management, and the fashion industry.
