Preparatory course

The preparatory course for the Maastricht Theatre Academy is intended for candidates wishing to take the three-year part-time Drama Teacher/Directing programme. Completing the preparatory course does not guarantee admission to that course, however.
Admission requirements

There are two ways of being admitted to the preparatory course:

• after taking an orientation workshop led by preparatory course instructors;

or

• after successfully taking part in the selection procedure for the part-time programme and receiving a recommendation.

Candidates must be over 21 years of age and hold a diploma from a nationally recognised research university (“WO”) or university of applied sciences (“HBO”), or be studying at such an institution, preferably with a focus on applied social studies (agogiek) and/or the arts.
Practical information
