The opportunities for students of Musical Theatre have continued to develop over the last decade, perhaps nowhere more so than in the Midlands. As Birmingham continues to be promoted as the nation's "Second City" and attracts major Arts organisations to the area, so the West Midlands is becoming recognised as a centre for Culture and the Arts. The job opportunities for students leaving full time education will continue to grow over the coming decade. The Musical Theatre course offered at Sandwell Academy provides a range of vocational experiences. They will prepare students for their choice of career in both the world of work and Higher Education. Most of our students go onto to study for a degree related to Performing Arts or Teaching.
