FACTSHEET MASTER’S PROGRAMME
C O N T E MP O RA R Y T H E A T RE , D A N C E A N D D RA MA T UR G Y Dear students, Welcome to the MA Contemporary Theatre, Dance and Dramaturgy programme at Utrecht University. For most of you this will be the first time you set foot in the city of Utrecht and at Utrecht University. Hence, this guide will help you find your way around the university, the programme, and the city a little more easily. This MA programme is part of the MA Arts & Culture, which also includes programmes on Gender Studies, Applied Musicology and Arts & Society. During this programme you will encounter various members of our Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies staff at Utrecht University. Next to this MA programme, the staff also teaches in the (Dutch) BA Media and Culture Studies, and in the Research MA Media, Art and Performance Studies. Several PhD researchers (with various institutional backgrounds) complete our team and you may encounter some of them as well, during your studies with us. This guide contains useful information about the MA Contemporary Theatre, Dance and Dramaturgy at the Department of Media and Culture Studies (Faculty of Humanities): included are the academic year calendar, a list of teachers and committees, as well as the names of student advisors and related student services. It also contains a brief introduction to the study programme and provides you with some practical information, such as student’s communication, libraries and Internet facilities. You will find extensive information on the study programme on our website, where you will also find some recommendations for theatre, dance and performance festivals. Through our bimonthly newsletter, we will keep you posted on interesting performances, conferences, lectures and so on throughout the year. We hope that this guide will help you in finding your way at Utrecht University! If you have any further questions, check the website students.uu.nl/en/hum/contemporarytheatre- dance-and-dramaturgy or ask your fellow students or your supervisor, and if this leaves your question still unresolved, do not hesitate to contact the programme coordinator. In case you come across useful information for other (prospect) students during your time here, please let us know, so we can include it in next year’s edition! Enjoy your stay in Utrecht!
