There are big differences in the extent to which the various universities and, indeed, the disciplines (music, dance, visual arts, film, etc.) demand that students both perform/practise an art of craft and analyse/comment on it.

Depending on your particular bent you may find specialisations of interest in fields like Communications or Design.
