LIPA - Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts:
The Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) in North-West England, is dedicated to providing the best teaching and learning for people who want to pursue a lasting career in the arts and entertainment economy. We provide education and training in performing arts, theatre and performance design and technology and management disciplines in a hands-on, collaborative environment. We offer undergraduate degrees and diploma programmes to UK and International students. We also offer weekend performing arts classes for 4 - 19 year olds and a wide range of part-time courses for adults.
Undergraduate Degree & Foundation Diploma Courses:
We are the only institution in the UK devoted to providing integrated Higher Education programmes across the seven main disciplines that we teach. We are not a conventional dance, drama or music school, although the standard of professional training reflects the best of such institutions. Our programmes also differ from traditional university departments that focus on academic study.
We combine the best of both. You will leave with a high level of professional skill or skills, an ability to reflect on your work and a deep understanding of the performing arts and your place within them.
Full-time, BA (Hons) degree programmes (3 years):
- Acting (Performing Arts)

Foundation Diploma Programmes:
We also run full-time one year Foundation Diplomas. Our Foundation Diplomas are ideal if you wish to undertake a one-year, full-time, intensive, vocationally orientated Performing Arts or Popular Music & Sound Technology programme. They start in September each year.They are designed to help you realise your potential and make the next step into degree-level study within the higher education sector, or at LIPA. Exceptionally, students may move directly into employment.
