Dance Education (Distance Learning)

This programme offers the opportunity to become part of an international online community of learners engaged in the study of dance education and teaching. You can choose to study at certificate, diploma or degree level.

The Diploma of Higher Education: Dance Education programme can be studied either full-time or part-time as your circumstances dictate.

As a distance learner, you will be able to study from home, with access to a rich variety of online study materials, workshops, individual and group tutorials. You will receive personalised feedback on your work from our dedicated team of specialist tutors. The programme is modular and is delivered across two semesters each year. A compulsory online Undergraduate Induction Seminar will take place for new students prior to the start of your studies in Semester 1 which will allow you to meet students and staff on the programme.

At Level 4, you will gain a broad perspective on dance education and dance studies, including an introduction to educational concepts, dance history, analysis, music and dance studies. At Level 5, you will be able to extend your knowledge of philosophical, pedagogical and professional issues in dance education, as well as developing your research and academic skills. You will choose from a range of module options which are studied alongside four compulsory modules.

Modules are assessed through a range of assignments, including essays, case studies, open book exams, practical teaching, project plans and presentations.
