Master of Arts - MA (PG)
Summary
**Now in its third year, this innovative MA enables you to maintain your professional practice while reflecting upon and refining the skills and techniques to elevate your career to a more specialised or strategic level. This programme runs January to January, so the next intake is January 2023.**
The blended learning format includes work-based and distance learning with intensive teaching blocks, so you get the benefit of arranging your study schedule and face to face peer engagement. Our course empowers you to:
- Rejuvenate and advance your drama facilitation practice
- Cultivate critical reflection to improve professional decision-making and contribute to your field by finding new solutions to common challenges
- Exploit appropriate analytical and project management tools to enable high-level reporting in a professional context.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You are expected to have a good degree (2:1) in a relevant discipline or significant practical experience of theatre/drama facilitation. As the course focuses on reflective practice and work-based learning, students will need to use their existing employment or self-generated work as the means to engage with both skill and career development. As a result of this, a pre-requisite of the course is that students must: 1. Have at least a year’s facilitation or teaching experience (this could be part of an undergraduate course) Your natural ability, your fit with what and how we teach, your growth and your potential are key factors in our admissions process. We can’t evaluate these solely on your educational achievements, so no matter which course you’re applying for, we look for the following attributes: We want to hear about your theatre/drama facilitation experience to date, both in training and/or your professional career. If you do not have a degree in applied theatre/community drama or a related subject, we would like you to demonstrate that you have at least one year’s experience in group facilitation. We want to know how you have pursued your theatre/drama facilitation career. If you are applying to us directly from an undergraduate course, we are interested in how you have been preparing for your future professional career and any relevant experience outside of your course. You’ll be working collaboratively on complex projects, often under pressure. We want to see that you are able to communicate ideas, and can provide critically-informed and considered feedback. We look for evidence that you have a natural curiosity and interest in the world around you and are able to draw from a wide range of experiences and influences in your work. We want to see that you are prepared to embrace all of the opportunities that we offer on this course and more broadly within the Institution. We’d like to know why you’re applying to us and how you think this course will support your development as a theatre/drama facilitator and contribute to your specific career goals. We’d like to see that you have a firm understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. We want to see how you have used your own initiative. We would especially like to hear if you have worked on independent creative projects outside of any training you may have undertaken. |
