MA Musical Theatre (Performance or Musical Directing)
This 1-year intensive Masters Degree trains advanced performers for a professional
career in Musical Theatre. We take a small cohort of students through a curriculum that involves a
full working week with up to 30 contact hours over 45 weeks.
The programme focuses equally on acting, singing, and dance, and includes
individual voice tutorials with some of the finest voice tutors in the UK. We believe that great
Musical Theatre requires a blend of skills rooted in solid acting technique, and the emphasis of
the programme is on training imaginative, versatile performers.
The programme culminates in a fully staged production at the Edinburgh Festival
Fringe and an Industry Showcase both in Glasgow and London. We have attracted much interest
internationally, through our association with RSAMD President Sir Cameron Mackintosh and through
our continuing development of new Musical Theatre work.
Past graduates are currenlty appearingin the West End, Broadway, Regional Theatres and for the
National Theatres of Scotland, Iceland and for Scottish Opera.
