Program Outline

Your learning goes beyond the classroom. You'll learn a well-rounded blend of theory, practice, interdisciplinary study, and industry focus, sparking fresh insights and promoting collaborative creativity in theatre-making. Regular Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions and mentorship from industry partners enrich your educational journey. Each trimester follows a structured format with two modules: one emphasises practical projects, while the other delves into academic and critical theory. These modules work together to offer a holistic perspective on theatre production. At the end of each trimester, you’ll have the choice to exit the programme or continue for a full MA.
