[edit] Introduction

I'm not sure this information is necessary, given that it is repeated with wikilinks further down the page:

"It offers nine full-time BA (Hons) degrees in:

Acting (Performing Arts), Arts, Music and Entertainment Management, Community Drama, Dance (Performing Arts), Music, Performing Arts (Music), Sound Technology, Theatre and Performance Design and Theatre and Performance Technology.

Lipa also offers the following postgraduate programmes: Postgraduate Diploma/MA in Acting, MA in Performing Arts: Education, MA in Dance Theatre Practice, MA in Community Music and an MA in Contemporary Theatre Practice.

LIPA also offers additional part-time programmes:

Flexible learning programmes such as New Deal for Musicians. Saturday morning and afternoon performing arts classes for 4 to 19 year olds"

The previous revision reads simply: "It offers courses at three levels: diplomas (pre-degree), degrees, and post-graduate diplomas. It also runs a thriving school for children and teenagers from ages 4 to 19 at weekends."

Any ideas? I prefer the second version. It is brief (as an introduction should be) and allows for the later section of the article listing the current courses.

I concuur, and as such, have ratified the content and made it a little less repetetive. :-)

[edit] LIPA awarding own degrees

Until this information is released into the public domain, I am removing claims that LIPA is able to award it's own degrees. A search of LIPA's website could not confirm this story, nor was there anything substantive in a Google search.
