The Master of Arts in Performing Arts Studies is the first postgraduate programme that provides a macro perspective on the study of performing arts at the Academy. This programme aims to nurture critical thinkers and reflective practitioners in the performing arts. It equips students with both theoretical knowledge and research skills, enabling them to reflect on various forms of performing arts and gain a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the field.
The curriculum provides an interdisciplinary learning experience, allowing students to choose elective courses from the six Academy Schools: the School of Chinese Opera, the School of Dance, the School of Drama, the School of Film and Television, the School of Music, and the School of Theatre and Entertainment Arts. We welcome applicants from both performing arts and other disciplines.
The learning process is creative and reflective, fostering interdisciplinary synergy. Students will gain a solid understanding of various performing art forms while developing essential skills in research, effective communication, entrepreneurship, and community engagement. By connecting these skills with the unique arts and cultural landscape of Hong Kong, the programme equips arts practitioners and aspiring individuals with tools necessary for meaningful professional growth.
IELTS or TOEFL results submitted must be within a 2-year period from the test date to the submission date of application for admissions.
