This part time postgraduate programme is designed for full and part-time teachers and those who support learning in Higher Education in the performing arts disciplines of theatre, drama, dance, music, lighting, scenography and the digital arts.

What current students say about the programme:
"I am finding it extremely rewarding and helpful integrating the coursework and research into my daily practice. It is exciting developing and evolving and trying out new ideas."
"I think we all know or have experience of teachers who are 'stuck', who have no interest, or perhaps knowledge of how to use different techniques to give a full and thorough experience to their learners. Well, I for one hope that I do, and will, with further hard work and confidence from this course, continue growing in confidence as a teacher, safe in the knowledge I'm not 'stuck' or too stubborn to change."
"The programme really does give an unparalleled opportunity to view learning and teaching through the eyes of both the teacher and the student at the same time. But, more importantly in my view, to experience - for the first time in a long time for many of us - how it actually feels to be a student."
