About

Contemporary Performance Practices is an interdisciplinary taught programme at Ulster University that combines performance practice with imaginative and rigorous critical engagement.

Overview

This innovative Contemporary Performance Practices postgraduate programme at Ulster University combines a focus on applied arts, and contemporary performance practices.

Students undertake a professional placement, and engage with the professional landscape through seminars with visiting practitioners and scheduled taught sessions. While there is scope to develop a wide range of work, the department has particular specialisms in Arts and Health, Performance and Disability, and Performance and Conflict.

  • Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
  • Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
  • Liability
  • Home contents and baggage
  • Accidents
  • Legal aid

We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
