The Department of Performing Arts (music, dance, drama and film) was established in 1971. The undergraduate music program is offered in two strands - Academic Music, and Popular and Community Music - depending on the level of music background of incoming students. In addition to the professional programs the Department organises outreach programs in which students go out and perform in communities across the country to educate the society on various aspects of life such as love, aids, and prostitution. There is a large collection of African instruments. Language of instruction is English.
