Type
Master

Location
Winchester
The programme aims to create a firm grounding in the critical theories and dramaturgical structures of musical theatre that are necessary for analysing, critiquing, directing and composing musical theatre texts. Students are encouraged to engage with academic literature, case studies and each other by reflecting on their own experiences. The suite of Masters programmes in the Department of Performing Arts draws together students on courses in Theatre Studies, Musical Theatre and Dance. All students work together on modules in Critical Theories and Dramaturgy (Analysis and Composition) and in the optional intensive practical module, thus benefiting from interdisciplinary interactions, debates and discussions. Students specialise through their choice of optional module and through supervision of Research Preparation and Dissertation modules. The programme can be taken entirely by distance/blended learning, but some of the optional modules are only available for campus delivery.

About this course
The University aims to shape 'confident learners' by enabling students to develop the skills to excel in their studies here and be transferable to further studies or the employment market. Staff and students form a community of learners who, together and independently, seek to generate and exchange knowledge. Over the duration of the course, students develop independent and critical learning, building confidence and expertise progressively through independent and collaborative research, problem solving, and analysis with the support of staff. Students take responsibility for their own learning and are encouraged to make use of the wide range of available learning resources available.In addition to the formally scheduled contact time (i.e. lectures, seminars etc), students are encouraged to access academic support from staff within the course team, personal tutors and the wide range of services to students within the University.Programme Leader: Millie Taylor
