Teaching & Assessment

We use a variety of teaching and learning strategies throughout the programme to develop appropriate concepts, knowledge and skills and help you achieve the intended learning outcomes. We take a blended learning approach that includes practical sessions, lectures and workshops. The practical sessions take place in the dance studio environment. They are designed to teach each of the core technical forms and the specialist area of commercial dance and musical theatre.

In addition, we'll expect you to spend time on guided independent study; for example, engaging in general background reading, preparing for seminar activities, working on assignments, and rehearsing and training. The development of employability and information literacy skills and personal development planning (PDP) are also explored.

We'll expect you to attend traditional lectures, seminars, practical sessions, workshops and tutorials. You may also have opportunities to work on live projects as part of your practical modules. Through these, you can gain unique insights and a thorough understanding of the performing arts industry operating in international markets and across many sectors.

The programme's key assessment forms include in-studio technical assessments, practical skills assessments, showcase performances, practical project reports, portfolios, oral presentations, written coursework and a major research project. You'll receive feedback on your assessments to help you understand what you have done well and where you can improve.
