Get A Real Degree From The Circus University

National Institute of Circus Arts

I’ve seen and heard of some strange college and university degree’s over the years, such as a degree in Digital Games, a Doctorate in Philosophy of Ufology or a degree in Floral Management.

So should I really be surprised to read that you can study contemporary circus arts and get a degree at the end of the three year course?

Can you imagine telling people you were a fully qualified clown and you had a degree to prove it?

The place to get your clown diploma is the National Institute of Circus Arts – a subsidiary of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.

According to the official website many of its graduates have gone on to work in a range of international and national circus companies, including Circus Oz and Cirque du Soleil.

Here’s a dozen pictures of the students in action.
