MA Musical Theatre (Performance or Musical Directing)

This one-year, intensive Masters Degree looks to train advanced performers for a professional career in Musical Theatre. We take a small cohort of students through a progressive curriculum, involving a full working week and calendar year.
 
The programme supports and highlights technical development in acting, singing and dance, providing opportunities to work with some of the most influential practitioners in the UK and on the international scene. We believe that great Musical Theatre requires a blend of skills rooted in solid acting technique with the emphasis on training imaginative and versatile artists within a demanding but supportive professional context. 
 
The course is built on refining technique in all areas of voice, acting and dance as part of an integrated creative and artistic development. The small cohort size allows for a high degree of one-on-one tuition and instruction. The cohort is formed into two smaller groups for techniques classes and a range of ensemble configurations for project work.
 
The programme culminates in a fully supported season of professionally produced work at the Edinburgh Fringe and an industry showcase both in Glasgow and London. 
 
Our graduates especially praise the individual attention received and the professional standards encountered on the MA programme, which boosted confidence and skill. As a result, former students are currently appearing in productions in the West End, on Broadway, in regional Theatres throughout the UK, and for the National Theatres of Scotland and Iceland as well as Scottish Opera.
