Bachelor in Studies in Performing Arts and Communication

Studies in Performing Arts and Communication covers the theory and practice of theatre, dance, music, and other performing arts alongside the study of communication, media, and how performance is produced, presented, and understood by audiences. Typical coursework includes performance theory, theatre and media history, dramaturgy, communication studies, and practical training in aspects of stage or media production, giving students exposure to both the artistic and analytical sides of performance. The field often combines humanities-based study of the arts with more applied training relevant to producing and communicating performance work. Graduates in this field pursue careers in theatre and performance companies, cultural organisations, media production, arts administration, and communication or public relations roles connected to the cultural and creative sectors. Some graduates move into further study in specific performance disciplines, while others apply their combined training in the arts and communication to roles in event organisation, cultural programming, or media production companies. This bachelor's program in Studies in Performing Arts and Communication is taught in English at Universita di Pisa, located in Pisa, Italy, and has a duration of 3 years. As a first-cycle degree, it is intended for students entering university study, typically after completing secondary school, and provides foundational training across performance and communication studies that can lead to further specialisation or direct entry into arts and media-related roles. Pisa, in the Tuscany region of Italy, offers a historically rich setting for undergraduate study in the performing arts and communication.
