The Department of English, Linguistics and Theatre Studies welcomes applications for the Master of Arts (Theatre and Performance Studies) by coursework. This MA is designed to be completed in one year of full-time study, or over a longer period of part-time study. (Only those locally domiciled are eligible for part-time study.)
Our courses develop critical thinking, research abilities and presentation skills, particularly for those who seek to work between arts practice, industry, research and community advancement. They are taught by globally recognized leaders in areas such as Asian performance, play analysis, practice-based research, digital humanities, and interdisciplinary study of literature, film and performance. Students will be trained in close critical and historically contextualized analysis and equipped with skills necessary for cultural leadership in a wide range of roles from arts organization leader, to cultural research associate, to arts policy maker. With our emphasis on digital skills in the arts and humanities, our students will be uniquely poised to apply digital tools to a variety of public, educational and industry contexts for professional activities such as archive development, interaction design and multimedia interface.
