This programme will provide you with constant opportunities to learn by practically developing your creativity in a variety of scenarios, such as presentation, group discussion, solo and collaborative creative opportunities, devised work and rehearsal-based projects.

You will be introduced to theorists and practitioners and develop your technical ability alongside your creative instincts.
