Course summary
The application deadline for this programme is 31 March 2026
Study a highly practical degree with a timetable that provides the space to learn and experiment alongside a production calendar reflective of industry practice, helping you build the skills and stamina to thrive in a challenging yet rewarding career.
Production consists of both the BA Production Technology and Management and the BA Production Arts and Design programmes. Production students work closely with each other in the classroom and on RCS productions.
This is the only conservatoire-based technical theatre degree in Scotland. Through the programme we aim to produce production technicians, stage managers and lighting designers who can turn their hands to any related role. This makes our students employable in a range of contexts, whilst also being specialists in their chosen career pathways.
We’ll help you create your own pathway through the programme, focusing on your main area of interest. You will learn to work creatively, as an individual, as part of a production team and in collaboration with other students of all disciplines.
RCS is a major public performance venue with world-class facilities. The combination of professional venues, extensive workshops, construction spaces, design studios, and the latest stage and workshop technologies provide a fantastic learning environment.
We work closely with industry partners to ensure the programme is current, competitive, and aligned to the highest professional standards so you can build the relevant skills, knowledge and experience to fully engage in your future career. We have close working relationships with the Scottish national performance companies, as well as many other performing arts and live events organisations across Scotland, the UK and internationally. Our graduates will aim to become the creative leaders and innovators of the future and are encouraged to push boundaries and create new standards of practice in the wider industry.
