The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting is an intensive three-year program designed to train professional actors to meet the challenges of today’s theatre. The program has three main areas of focus, with the level of difficulty increasing as students make their way through the curriculum.

The first area deals with specific acting techniques (movement, voice, diction, interpretation, sight reading, etc.) and aims to develop control and harness the expressive potential of the body and voice, the actor’s two main tools.

The second area gives students an opportunity to put their training into practice in a series of four public performances directed or supervised by recognized professionals.

The third area offers students a solid grounding in the history and analysis of theatre as live art, including the theatrical culture needed to understand and contextualize their work as actors.

The program concludes with courses and workshops aimed at providing future graduates with the means to manage their careers and join the acting profession.

I really enjoyed the Computer Engineering Technology – Computing Science program at the University of Ottawa. The courses were practical and focused on real-world skills, not just theory, which made the learning feel useful right away. I especially liked how programming concepts were tied to hands-on projects. For example, in one course I learned how to design and implement a database-driven application using SQL and Python, which helped me understand how back-end systems actually work in practice. Overall, it’s a solid program that builds strong technical foundations and prepares you well for industry or further studies.
