ForCombined Honours UCAS codes and entry requirements
The programme is highly practical and students create and perform in their own works, perform in specially commissioned works, and also study theories and ideas of movement along with social and cultural aspects of dance.
Year 1 introduces choreography and performance and the wider historical, cultural, social and artistic contexts of the study of dance. There are excursions to view performances of professional dance work, and visits from a range of established dance companies and practising artists.
In Year 2, students extend their choreographic skills and pursue areas of special interest, including explorations in music and dance, dance for the screen/ site-specific work and interdisciplinary projects. All students take a year-long course in Dance Writing and Analysis.
In Year 3, the students focus on their dissertation, which may be practical or written, and take a module looking at Current Debates in Dance and a course in Dance Management. In addition, all Single Honours students must, and Combined Honours may, take a year-long course in Dance Facilitation.
