About

Who is the course for?

This Masters course is for anyone interested in studying at postgraduate level to enhance health, wellbeing, education/training and performance in the arts, such as artists, performers, creatives and practitioners in dance, drama, music and/or performing arts.

It is designed for graduates who have completed a degree in a related field and wish to develop their career prospects; or graduates who have completed a degree in a different discipline but now wish to pursue a career related to arts, health and performance. It is also designed for those who already work in a related role and who wish to enhance their effectiveness and confidence in the workplace or to develop their career prospects.

We are proud to work with students with varied protected characteristics, including age, disability, race, sex and sexual orientation, and aim to provide appropriate support for individual needs.

Modules will vary when studied in combination with another subject.

Before starting the course you'll be invited to attend an induction session which will give you details about academic, research and writing skills needed to study at postgraduate level. The induction will include such elements as library skills, IT applications, relevant software skills, research skills and writing at Master’s level. It is also an opportunity to meet with other students on the course.
