Theatre Pedagogy, Master of Arts in Theatre and Drama (2 yr)

About this programme

In the Master’s Programme in Theatre Pedagogy, art pedagogy is seen as a form of artistic activity where pedagogical questions are ever-present. In the context of art pedagogy, art, performance and teaching are viewed as encounters where aesthetic, ethical and political phenomena are intertwined. The programme consists of advanced studies in the arts, studies in the theory and practices of art pedagogy, research studies, teaching practices, international interaction and elective studies that support the development of the student’s identity as an art pedagogue. The students are encouraged to take risks, make bold choices and to seek new solutions within the framework of the programme’s curriculum. The goal of the master’s programme is to train open-minded art pedagogue professionals who have found their own voice, have cooperation skills and are aware of their responsibility. The degree requirements for Master’s Programme in Theatre Pedagogy include pedagogical studies for teachers (60 cr). Tampere University is in charge of the study module in pedagogy as a whole.
