Production Arts

Study a production arts degree at Newcastle College University Centre

Our production arts courses offer you numerous opportunities to gain practical experience of stage and production management in our very own theatre and live music venues.

FdA Stage Management and Technical Theatre

Behind the scenes of every production you’ll find a multi-talented team of creative designers, technical staff and stage managers. Study this programme and you will be trained in core aspects of technical theatre including stage and production management, lighting, sound and staging.

Our main performance venue, the Peter Sarah Theatre, equipped with industry standard equipment including a full height fly tower, counterweight flying system and tension wire
grid, is one of the most comprehensive training facilities in the North.

BA (Hons) Creative Enterprise (Top-Up)

The philosophy of this degree is to replicate the first year of industry practice rather than the last year of education. You will research and design your own project brief and see it through to completion. Whatever you propose should be closely tied to your career aspirations and the needs of industry.

So if you want to establish yourself as a professional practitioner your project will be carefully researched to make sure it takes you a step closer to realising your ambitions. It should build on your strengths and further develop the skills and interests you had at Foundation Degree level.
