The faculty's PPU education has a unique profiling of pedagogy in music, dance, drama and theater. This profile is, among other things, characterized by a richly branched entrepreneurship within the art field, with emphasis on providing a basis for versatile practice and pedagogical professional efforts. The contact with the field of practice includes both pedagogical and performing areas.

Bjergsted Cultural Park is a melting pot of working life, and the PPU education is a collaboration agreement with Stavanger Kulturskule and MDD at Stavanger Cathedral School. Otherwise, we are in various primary schools in Stavanger and Randaberg, and at Vågen upper secondary and Sandnes cultural school.

Everyone who teaches and guides in the PPU education has a high pedagogical and didactic competence and artistic background.
