How You Will Be Assessed

This course is 100% coursework assessed - with no written exams!

The University of the Arts (UAL) Level 2 Diploma in Performing and Production Arts is assessed through a series of projects that are designed to broaden your skills, experience and expertise. The projects are multi-disciplinary and you will be expected to work collaboratively and proactively with fellow students.

Much of the written evidence, which supports your performance work, is in the form of a digital portfolio. You will need to update this regularly to document your development and research. Other evidence may include presentations, essays and portfolios.

Course Progression

After successful completion of the Level 2 Dance Diploma course, your next step would be our Level 3 Dance Extended Diploma.

However you could also progress onto our Level 3 Acting, Level 3 Music or Level 3 Musical Theatre Extended Diploma courses.
