Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Education and Musical Theatre (RB31)

A degree in Education is a dynamic and stimulating opportunity to study the individual, social, and political forces that shape education, in all its forms. For students who are interested in how and why people learn, both formally and informally, in the UK or abroad, then studying Education will challenge and excite them in equal measure.

Studying Education at Liverpool Hope University will help students to develop academically as they engage with evidence and research, professionally as they link theory to practice, preparing them for a wide variety of work contexts, and personally as they think more deeply about their own values and aspirations. It is structured around the four key disciplines of education: psychology, sociology, history, and philosophy. Each discipline provides a different lens through which key ideas and issues in education can be understood.

By studying Education at Liverpool Hope University, students will become a Hope Education Professional: inspired to put educational theory into practice, able to critically evaluate current policy, and willing to make a difference in the world. The degree is an ideal foundation for those who decide to go on to train to become a teacher, and a variety of other professions, at Liverpool Hope University or elsewhere.

Liverpool is a vibrant city, tapping into the momentum and energy of a diverse creative scene that stems from a long history as an international port city. Musical Theatre continues to play an integral role in its ever-changing theatrical landscape.

This degree allows the study of Musical Theatre from performative, as well as directorial/production points of view. With Liverpool Hope University, students will study the creative and conceptual interactions that exist between words, music and movement, that underpin the threefold performative relationships between music, dance and acting that communicate and express the art form of Musical Theatre.

Students will explore core repertoire themes and historical context, and small-group practical seminars will allow them to develop dance and acting techniques. These will be underpinned by student-led tutorials and one-to-one singing lessons.

The course is led by a team of Musical Theatre specialists, who have first-hand production and performance experience - both in the West End and regional theatres - ensuring students receive up-to-the-minute insights and guidance.
