Master of Arts in Theater
Course summary
The Master’s degree programme, with its Scenic Arts Practice specialisation, is internationally unique. It is orientated towards the performing arts and gives students the opportunity to realise their own artistic projects in an international market.
The course is designed to correspond to the students’ individual special interests. Acknowledged theatrical personalities work with students on all the artistic and organisational aspects of their productions. High standards in terms of artistic presentation are combined with self-reliance, flexibility and transdisciplinary competencies. At the same time, the degree course also includes set design, lighting, sound, media and management, beyond the production itself. The course of study is not only geared towards actors and actresses but also explicitly to artists from other disciplines such as dancers and performers.
