Sunway University

The Diploma in Performing Arts (DPA) at Sunway University offers a unique curriculum that covers both theatre and audio-visual production while maintaining a fine balance between hands-on and academic classes. As a result, our graduates  end up with comprehensive and cross-disciplinary skills, knowledge and also abilities – many doors are open to them where work and further studies are concerned.

A number of our DPA graduates have chosen to continue their education. They usually make use of the no-fuss, one-year transfer pathway to one of our affiliated universities in Tasmania, Melbourne and Wales, to study drama, performance, film and digital media. Many of those who opt to start working get involved in project-based freelance work. The spectrum of jobs available to them is broad, ranging from performing on stage, television and film to behind-the-camera and back-stage work. The latter includes production crew, production management, editing, writing, producing, office administration as well as teaching drama.
