Master's programme in Dance

The Master’s Programme in Dance is a two-year full-time study that builds on a performing Bachelor’s degree in dance or an equivalent education. The programme is a postgraduate specialist study intended for students who want to work as independent dance artists at an international level. The programme aims to develop and stimulate the students’ artistic identity as performing and creative dance artists by developing their performative articulation and reflection in both individual and collaborative projects.

The programme provides perspectives that illuminate the art of dance as a cultural expression in aesthetical, historical, political, ethical and social contexts and looks at how theories of art may interact with the practical production of art, and vice versa.

The Master’s programme will qualify students to work nationally and internationally either as an independent dancer or in established dance companies, as well as in other contexts within the arts and society.

The programme corresponds to 120 ECTS credits and qualifies students for admission to the PhD in Artistic Research and other relevant doctoral programmes.
