DANCE ARTIST BA PROGRAMME
The aim of the programme is to train dance artists who are highly skilled in the dance language of their specialisation, as well as in other dance techniques.

- Dance studies and theory (history of music, history of arts, history of dance, motion biology, dance analysis, etc.) are also part of the curriculum.
- Matura/baccalaureate (exam that allows entrance to higher education) has to be passed before graduating in dance studies. It can be obtained in the home country.
- As a result of the programme, students receive a diploma, not just a certificate, so they can apply for a master’s degree and then a doctorate if they wish. – A minimum level of B1 English is required to obtain the diploma. (B1 language skills are primarily required to obtain a diploma, so if verification of completion of a programme at our University is sufficient, we can exempt you from the language requirements.)
