The University of Melbourne aspires to establish its dance program as a world-leader with a vision of artistic, pedagogical and research excellence, building upon its significant 40-year history. As part of this aspiration, a revitalised Bachelor of Fine Arts (Dance) will be implemented in 2021. The new BFA (Dance) will continue to focus on the rigorous preparation of dancers as artists and makers, but a new pedagogical approach will involve teaching and learning in cultural leadership including in performance, community, arts management, health and wellbeing sectors and dance and technology.
