Dance MA / PGDip

at University of Chester

Our modules are designed to help you develop your skills and knowledge in creative dance-making practices through exploring and studying practical, scholarly and theoretical frameworks with relevance to your professional dance practice. Other areas of study include research methods in the wider arts context as well as documentation of dance practice using various approaches and technological platforms.

In the final phase of the MA, you will undertake either: a practical research project leading to the production of a substantial piece of work such as a creative or performance project, workshop(s), lecture(s) or event; or a written research dissertation. All of this learning and professional development will empower you to take artistic leadership with academic authority.?
