Overview

The UAL (University of the Arts London) Level 3 Extended Diploma in Theatre and Production Arts is equivalent to 3 A Levels in the UCAS points system.

Here at Gower College Swansea you will be provided with a breadth of study across many disciplines to include:

•    Stage management
•    Lighting
•    Sound
•    Prop making 
•    Design
•    Costume

Although the emphasis is on practical and production work you will need to complete written assignments and develop your skills through evaluative logbooks and rehearsal reflections.

Your learning is assessed by projects. You will complete these termly - the projects will vary and you could be assessed through a real-life production scenario, journals, presentations, essays and performances.
