Review

The Creative Arts Program with CAPA London is ideal for any student interested in the fields of writing, theatre, or visual arts! Classes in this program are available in these fields along with history, museums, pop culture, arts administration, Shakespeare, and playwriting. Doing a certificate program is not all that different from not doing one, the only real difference I experienced was having slightly different requirements for some of my assignments. CAPA prioritizes learning beyond the classroom, so I got to go on awesome field trips such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, the National Theatre, and seeing amazing plays! These all helped me to be immersed in the London arts scene and experience it all firsthand. If this sounds up your alley, I highly recommend also doing the CAPA internship program in an arts field. I'm a double major in Theatre Arts and Marketing, so I specified that and my career goals and interests during my internship placement interview with CAPA. I was placed with a youth theatre company doing social media marketing, and I'm so glad I was. I learned so much about theatre in London and also how the arts business operates. I was able to be surrounded by work I was passionate about while also gaining tangible professional experience!
(Something to be aware of, though, is if you decide to drop the internship program you will NOT receive the certificate, so be careful!) All in all, London is THE place to study abroad or intern if you are an artistically-inclined individual, and CAPA is a great help in making your vision come to life.
