The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Dance Programme provides Major Studies in Choreography, Dance Pedagogy and Dance Science. The intention is to extend the professional practice of each student by offering both depth and breadth. Each Major contains required courses and electives, which allow the personalisation of learning. The students are guided in their choices by an Academic Advisor and the postgraduate team of lecturers, who support students in selecting courses that will lead towards the discovery of their artistic voice, and the achievement of their career goals. The programme encourages students to investigate and research specific areas within their Major study. Multiple learning modes are used to support this, encouraging students to embrace knowledge at the forefront of their chosen field. At the same time, students can deepen and broaden their knowledge through School and Academy Electives. These encourage students’ autonomous learning to shape their individual skill sets.
An important goal of the programme is to develop artists who can work independently and carve a career path unique to their individual strengths and career goals. Our goal is that students will emerge as articulate and dynamic scholars and artists.
