MSc in Dance Science & Education

" The MSc in Dance Science & Education is an exciting new programme starting in September 2009 "

The principal aim of this Master's programme is to provide a foundation in science that can underpin all forms of dance training and educate the development of dance as an art form. The programme has been carefully developed to focus on the scientific that is directly relevant to the process and practices involved in optimising:

Dance training
Dance education
Dance performance

Throughout the programme both theoretical and practical work are combined to promote learning and understanding of the key concepts required to become an effective dance scientist.

This is achieved through understanding, evaluating and articulating excitingly new and currently evolving research and thinking in dance science to successfully applying and delivering training interventions as a "practitioner" in the environments of dance education, dance participation, and dance performance
