Drama and theatre can transform how people learn, communicate and connect. Our MA explores how performance enhances learning across education and communities. Combining theory with practical collaboration, you’ll develop the creative, pedagogic and research skills for careers in schools, colleges, community arts and theatre. You’ll also connect with an international network of teachers, practitioners and actor-teachers to explore how to make learning accessible, playful and creative.
One of my favourite aspects of the course has been the discussions in class. My classmates come from a variety of professional and educational backgrounds, so every conversation brings new perspectives and encourages me to reflect on my own teaching practice. I've also really enjoyed the practical workshops, where we can put ideas from class into teaching and drama practice rather than just learning about them in theory. The lecturers create an open and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their ideas, which makes every session engaging and inspiring.
