Introduction
From London’s West End to more experimental Fringe performances, musical theatre spans the arts, inspiring and entertaining audiences around the world. Lincoln’s Musical Theatre programme is designed to enable students to reflect critically on performance practices, while developing core practical production skills.
Students can learn from expert staff who are practitioners and scholars trained in music, theatre, and dance. Workshops and masterclasses are delivered by visiting tutors and professionals, offering further opportunities to learn about the practical elements of musical theatre.
This CertHE programme is designed to allow students who successfully complete it to progress to our full BA (Hons) Musical Theatre programme.
Modules
All Level 1 modules of the BA (Hons) Musical Theatre programme must be successfully completed for the award of the Certificate of Higher Education.
