Welcome to the Department of Performing Arts Congratulations on your recent exam results and securing your place at Edge Hill University. In the Performing Arts Department we have developed an approach to admissions, which means that we see all applicants in audition workshops and consider carefully the qualities each person has in terms of both academic and practical skills. You have, therefore, been offered a place with us after thorough consideration. We value what you have to offer to the department and are delighted that you have chosen to become part of an ambitious, forward thinking department. We sincerely hope that we are at the start of a strong partnership over the period of your degree study and that we can develop your ability to the highest possible levels.
It will take time for you to get used to all the various approaches and routines of the department. Freshers’ Week is designed to gradually introduce you to the department and the key structures and systems that you need to know about. It also provides an opportunity for you to meet the other undergraduates you will be working with. All Performing Arts students are asked to register with the department at: 9.20am Monday 19th September – Rose Theatre Foyer
A programme of events will follow as outlined below. Make sure you have something to write with and on, and wear clothes suitable for practical work. Joint students will have an opportunity to meet with the department at 10.00am on Weds 21st. You are welcome to attend any Performing Arts events in the week such as your other subject’s timetable allows. See Performing Arts timetable overleaf. First Week is always a busy and full week and you will hear and receive a lot of information, so don’t be surprised if you feel a little confused at times or you need to double check anything you are told. Always feel free to ask questions and clarify with staff at any point.
