A Comprehensive Range of Programs

LASALLE prides itself on its diverse array of programs catering to every interest within the arts industry - a testament to its ability to fulfill students' needs and foster their passions. It was this comprehensive range that attracted Gerald Wong, BAHons Arts Management student, who sought a more holistic education.

I was fortunate enough to have a stable job but always had concerns about my future since I held only an A-Level certificate, recalls Gerald. Upon researching institutions offering degrees, LASALLE stood out as primarily focused on performing or visual arts - what I found instead was the 'Arts Management' course.

Michelle Ler, BAHons Musical Theatre student, sought similar opportunities to make musical theatre more accessible through her studies at LASALLE.

I was searching for courses in Singapore that offer Musical Theatre majors, she says. LASALLE became my only choice as it's the sole arts school here offering a BAHons program specifically focused on this field.

Strategically Connected Faculty and Partnerships

LASALLE distinguishes itself with its robust international faculty network, which deeply connects students to global arts industry dynamics through strategic partnerships with international institutions. This global perspective fosters valuable connections among local and international counterparts.

The Arts Management course at LASALLE has inspired me greatly and enabled my growth as a person, Gerald shares. The presence of leading practitioners sharing insights about the field motivates me towards an arts career.

Michelle concurs, emphasizing how these connections, both local and international, have facilitated her preparation for real-world industry challenges.

I appreciate having established connections in the arts industry even before graduation through LASALLE's collaborations. These include not only local connections but also opportunities to work with professionals abroad, she comments.

Practical Skills Beyond Technical Proficiency

At LASALLE, students acquire both technical expertise and invaluable skills such as creativity, professionalism, and a strong work ethic essential for success in the arts industry. The Arts Management course has helped me prepare for auditions, boosting my confidence in securing positions within the industry after graduation, shares Michelle.

Gerald highlights the professional development aspect of his studies at LASALLE: The program has equipped me with a broader understanding of the arts scene and trned me to think innovatively for solutions.

In essence, LASALLE College of the Arts not only prepares students technically for their careers but also inspires them to innovate within the arts industry. Through its programs, connections, and curriculum, LASALLE ensures that students are future-ready practitioners capable of catalyzing transformative changes.
