A foundation year is a program designed for students preparing to enroll in a bachelor’s degree program. These preparatory programs are typically utilized by international students or students who need more time to meet a school’s enrollment requirements.

What is a foundation year in performing arts? Music, dance and drama are all incorporated into a performing arts education, and a foundation year can help students prepare for different concentrations in this field. Some introductory courses may include a general history of these subjects, or they may focus on specific performance styles. Music courses could provide students with basic ear training and music theory experience. Acting and dance classes may be offered in addition to private lessons.

Having an education in the performing arts can help prepare students in multiple areas of their lives and careers. A performing arts education can help students with memorization and recall. These students are often independent self-starters, but they can also collaborate well with others.

The cost of a foundation year can vary depending on the number of courses a student takes and which university is offering the program. Though every university is different, students can always research the individual institutions for specific tuition details.

The careers available in the field of performing arts are numerous and diverse for students of all concentrations and experience. Some students pursue traditional performance careers as musicians, actors or dancers. Creative opportunities are also available for students who pursue directing, producing, playwriting or composing. Various technical positions like stage management and sound design may also be considered by students with a performance background. Students may also find careers in education by teaching in traditional classroom settings or by becoming private instructors.

There are plenty of international universities that offer a foundation year in performing arts. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
