Graduate Research
In a relatively new and emerging scientific field such as Dance Science, there are numerous areas of study yet to be explored. Many of our MSc graduates have gone on to present their work at international conferences, and be published in academic journals.
There are many opportunities for MSc graduates either in academia as lecturers, course and programme leaders and researchers or in the dance profession as dance educators, better informed dancers and dance teachers, dance science coaches and dance company physiologists and psychologists.
