The MA Progamme is part of the strategic development plan of the University of the Peloponnese. It is designed with academic and theoretical coherence and aims to advance knowledge, foster research and the arts, and respond to the educational, social, cultural, and developmental needs of the country. It offers advanced-level specialisation for graduates in both theoretical and applied fields, with particular emphasis on current research directions in Theatre Studies, Stage Practice, and Theatre in Education.

 

The programme offers three distinct but interconnected areas of specialisation:

  • Theatre Studies
  • Stage Practice
  • Theatre in Education

 

While each specialisation functions independently, they actively interact, intersect, and collaborate across disciplinary boundaries. The programme focuses on the relation between theatre and other performing arts and society, emphasising interdisciplinarity, research, education, artistic creation, and real-life application. It integrates academic study with applied research and practice, reflecting the Department’s commitment to both theoretical inquiry and practical engagement. The creation of this programme builds on the Department’s strong tradition in postgraduate education. It represents the continuation and unification of two earlier and highly successful postgraduate programs: “Drama and Performing Arts in Education and Lifelong Learning” (2014–2023) and “Theatre and Society: Theory, Stage Practice, and Teaching” (2018–2023). The new programme “Theatre, Education, Society” brings together the strengths of both to offer a comprehensive and forward-looking postgraduate experience.
