Degree in Performing Arts


Explanation:
I think a degree in Performing Arts is not just for actors, but also performing musicians and others.
Moreover, IMHO the distinction between a "licentiate" degree and others is (con perdón), "una españolada". When I moved to Spain, I soon got fed up with people telling me my BA degree was a "diploma" (diplomado) simply because it wasn't 5 years long.

Example sentence(s):
  • Study for a degree in Performing Arts with the University of Sunderland.
  • Performing arts degrees combine creative talent with practical aspects of self-promotion and arts management

agree  Robert Forstag: This is what came to my mind. Perhaps, given that the "licenciatura" seems to have no exact equivalent in the English-speaking world, and "licenciate" does not convey transparent meaning, "university degree in the performing arts." Footnote a good idea.

Argentina

In Argentina, the Licentiate degree (Spanish: Licenciatura), by which one becomes a licenciada (female) or a licenciado (male), is a four- to six-year degree.[4] It's equivalent to an M.Sc. or M.A.[5] in North American universities, or Master[5] in any country of Europe given by the Bologna Process and World Universities affiliates. Occasionally, the achievement of the "Licentiate" degree does not require the formal writing of a thesis, although almost always, some amount of research is required. The successful defense of the "Tesis de Licenciatura" automatically habilitates the candidate to apply to a Master's or Doctorate degree in a related field of science; in the past graduates were granted the Licentia Doctorandus, after the dissertation of their written thesis, this was a requirement allowing them to enter the Doctoral program equivalent to the current Ph.D. degree.

Carola: You cannot equate a Bachelor's Degree to a Licentiate. If this is Argentina, the Licentiate degree (Spanish: Licenciatura), by which one becomes a licenciada (female) or a licenciado (male), is a four- to six-year degree.
