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.
