Careers › Arts
Drama, music and performance. Most routes need an audition.
Drama and music degrees are built around practical performance and usually need an audition – sometimes alongside, sometimes instead of, an academic admission score. Very few performers make a full living purely from performance; most build a mix of performing, teaching, session work, and other creative industry jobs.
This is our general description of the role and related jobs, not from an official source – it’s here to give you a fuller picture, not as a careers-counselling guarantee.
This is our general guidance about which school subjects suit this career. It is not an admission requirement and not from an official source – the real requirements are on the degrees below.
