大学部门的表演艺术课程保留了必要的强大实践重点，因为它们为毕业生在竞争激烈的环境中工作做好了准备。然而，对于毕业生来说，现实是一个世界，在这个世界上，业绩只是建立可持续职业生涯所需的无数活动的一个组成部分。本文报告了两项研究的结果，调查了在职和潜在的音乐家和舞蹈艺术家的工作模式、教育和专业发展。通过问卷调查、焦点小组和访谈收集的数据揭示了本科课程、学生的职业期望和专业实践现实之间的差异。音乐和舞蹈研究结果之间的一致性表明，合作提供初级教育和终身教育的潜力。研究结果在多变的职业背景下进行了讨论，文章提倡实践艺术家学者的潜力，让学生参与职业发展和形成他们的职业身份。
Performing arts courses within the university sector retain a necessarily strong practical focus as they prepare graduates for work within a highly competitive environment. However, the reality for graduates is a world in which performance is only one component of the myriad activities required to build a sustainable career. This article reports findings from two studies which investigated work patterns, education and professional development of practising and intending musicians and dance artists. Data gathered using a questionnaire, focus groups and interviews reveal disparity between undergraduate curricula, the career expectations of students and the realities of professional practice. Alignment between the results of the music and dance studies suggests the potential for the collaborative delivery of both initial and lifelong education. The findings are discussed within the context of protean careers, and the article advocates the potential for practising artist academics to engage students in career development and the formation of their professional identities.
