Provider SpotlightLIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY LAUNCHES UK’S FIRST POPULAR THEATRE MASTERS DEGREE

Liverpool Hope University is to be the UK’s first university to offer a masters degree in Contemporary Popular Theatres. The first of its kind in the UK, the degree course will focus on the study of British and Irish popular theatre from the late 1950’s to the present day.

Course coordinators say that it will offer an important alternative to the majority of postgraduate theatre studies degree programmes. These have often denied popular theatre the rigorous academic analysis enjoyed by more ‘traditional’ theatre works. Beginning in September 2008, the degree course will be based at Liverpool Hope’s Cornerstone Campus near Liverpool City Centre and will draw on the expertise of resident staff at the University’s Dance, Drama and Performance Studies Department as well as guest lecturers and practitioners.

Liverpool Hope University will be offering the degree from September 2008 and is accepting applications now. Anyone interested in finding out more about this programme and how to apply should contact Postgraduate Admissions on postgraduate@hope.ac.uk or by telephone on 0151 291 3389.
