Our Master of Arts in Education (Dance Teaching) programme allows you to further your knowledge and expertise through research in your own practice. We are proud to be one of the first organisations to offer an award at this level specifically designed for practising dance teachers.
The MA is a modular programme delivered via distance learning, normally over two or three years with a compulsory online seminar at the start of the programme.
As an experienced dance teacher, the programme offers you an opportunity to engage in:
The MA is comparable to any other award at Masters Level (MA, MSc, MEd) but focuses specifically on your role as a teacher, allowing you to learn, reflect on your teaching and develop original practices. You will learn from experts within the field and will have access to an international community of practitioner researchers.
Assessment
For all modules you will have an assigned tutor who will guide you towards your assessment. Learning is flexible in that you study from home during hours which suit your employment schedule and personal commitments. Tutors communicate with students via e-mail, telephone, zoom and online forums. Modules are assessed through a variety of modes, including essays, case studies, portfolios, practical teaching, presentations and small-scale research projects. The final Research Project requires submission of a dissertation.
