Program overview

A three year honours degree in dance, covering technique across styles, choreography, performance practice, dance in the community and a final performance project.

Bath Spa runs dance at both bachelor and master level, and the undergraduate route builds technique from a broader base.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Dance is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the dance degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the dance degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the dance degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the dance degree does not support a family move.

Applicants to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Dance need a recognised post-secondary certificate or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the dance degree is recorded at GBP 18,585. Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the dance degree. The dance degree lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the dance degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
