RWCMD Launches New Courses
Even in our 60th anniversary year, the Royal
Welsh College of Music & Drama still has its eyes firmly on the
future. In addition to starting work on the exciting £22.5m
redevelopment, the College is expanding its offering to potential
students with the launch of a range of new courses, the first of
these available from January 2010.
The new programmes will include a BMus with specialised pathways
in Vocal Performance, Instrumental Performance, Composition and
Creative Music Technology, awards dedicated to Jazz Studies have
been developed at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and the
new collection of masters will include specific vocational
programmes such as the MA Acting for Stage, Screen & Radio, MA
Scenic Arts & Construction for Stage & Screen and MA Event
Production.
These courses will ensure that we are on the cutting edge of
training for the creative professions, providing our students with
the skills needed to meet the changing needs of industry and
employers with the flexible and creative workforce they
require.
Several of these innovative new programmes involve working
across both the music and drama disciplines and have been developed
as a result of strategic industry partnerships. The programmes will
be delivered by industry professionals together with our excellent
academic teaching staff.
