Program Curriculum
Students on this programme learn in a range of ways including in person and group discussion, verbal feedback and collaborative working.
The programme is designed to give you a practical and critical engagement with many forms of theatre and performance practice through a variety of core and optional courses.
You can take either an optional course or a work placement (agreed and negotiated with your tutor) according to your personal interests and perceived needs. Your optional course can be selected from across the College of Arts & Humanities, enabling an interdisciplinary approach.
The programme concludes with a Practice as Research Project. This provides you with a degree of flexibility in relation to the focus of your advanced study. It permits further applied practice in the form of a major performance project or the opportunity to undertake an in-depth written study on an area of your choice.
