This course provides an intellectually stimulating programme of study, examining dance practice from physiological, psychological and biomechanical perspectives. You will apply science to the notion of optimising dance using laboratory-based and psychological methods, with access to cutting-edge laboratory equipment, large dance studios and excellent learning resources.

You will be directly engaged in the context of applied dance science employment, by replicating the demands of the workplace in seminar tasks and assessments (e.g. presentations, testing, creating scientific posters). You will have the opportunity to volunteer with staff research and are encouraged to attend relevant conferences and events that provide additional knowledge and networking opportunities. Explore exciting creative opportunities for interaction with other disciplines: dance and the screen, dance and new media/emerging digital technologies, dance and leadership, and dance and entrepreneurship.
