During the teacher & director programme, you train a unique combination of skills. As a result, our graduates quickly find paid work in (art) education, the art education field or the theatre sector.
Alumni go on to work, for example, in art colleges, youth theatre schools, community theatre houses, social-artistic organisations and professional companies. Thanks to the multifaceted study programme, many graduates find a “regular” job in (art) education or cultural education alongside an artistic practice. A number of them become self-employed or set up their own foundations together with colleagues.
Diploma
After your academic years, you graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Theatre Teaching. You will have a first-degree teaching qualification and your diploma will be valid in several European countries. If you want to be sure your degree is valid in a certain European country, check this carefully. DUO can help you with this.
