<\/i><\/i><\/span>Programme Description<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Performing Arts at the College of Fine Arts, University of Mosul, is an undergraduate program designed in accordance with the Bologna Process. The full program is structured over four years and eight semesters and comprises 240 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, with one ECTS equivalent to 25 hours of student workload, including structured and unstructured learning activities.<\/p>\n

The program provides students with a comprehensive foundation in performing arts, beginning with fundamental areas such as acting, voice and diction, theatre history, theatrical techniques, Arabic and English languages, and progressing toward directing and other specialized theatrical disciplines. The program emphasizes the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical theatrical training and modern teaching and learning methodologies.<\/p>\n

The program aims to prepare specialized theatrical personnel in acting, directing, modern theatrical techniques, and playwriting, and to develop artistic, technical, cognitive, research, communication, and creative abilities that respond to contemporary developments and labour-market needs.<\/p>\n

The department also seeks to employ modern technologies and artificial intelligence in education and to support creativity, scientific research, theatrical production, and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

Current implementation: The Bologna Process is currently being implemented for the First Year (Level 1), comprising the first and second semesters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Establishing partnerships with cultural, artistic, and media institutions inside and outside Iraq to provide support, create employment opportunities, and develop independent artistic projects for graduates.<\/p>\n

Supporting scientific research in theatrical studies, digital technology, performing arts, directing, and related artistic fields, while opening opportunities for postgraduate studies at the Master\u2019s and PhD levels.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Awarded Qualification<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Upon successful completion of the approved program requirements, graduates are awarded the:<\/p>\n

Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Performing Arts<\/p>\n

The program documentation identifies the degree as a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Performing Arts, with specialization in Acting and Directing.<\/p>\n

The exact official English designation of the degree should be confirmed by the department before publication, because the programme catalogue contains the wording \u201cBachelor\u2019s Degree in performing Art\u201d, while the module catalogue refers to a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Performing Arts specializing in Acting or Directing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Qualification Level<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The supplied Performing Arts documents identify the program as a first-cycle undergraduate Bachelor’s program, but do not explicitly state the corresponding level in the Iraqi National Qualifications Framework.<\/p>\n

Do not insert \u201cLevel 6\u201d yet, even though this may ultimately be the appropriate level. We should obtain the official NQF classification first.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Specific Admission Requirements<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The supplied Performing Arts programme documents do not provide the specific approved admission requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Qualification Requirements and Regulations<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The full Bachelor\u2019s program is structured over four years and eight semesters and comprises 240 ECTS credits. The ECTS system defines one ECTS as 25 hours of student workload.<\/p>\n

The curriculum combines theoretical and practical theatrical education and includes practical activities, workshops, production projects, and theatrical performance activities.<\/p>\n

Additional approved qualification requirements and academic regulations:<\/p>\n

Because the current Bologna implementation concerns First Year (Level 1) only, requirements relating to later years, graduation projects, and completion of the entire 240-ECTS program should not be presented as currently implemented requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
