Undergraduate Study

Higher Education Courses

Two courses of the School are designed normally to form a single three-year programme. The two courses are:

Foundation Degree in Ballet and Contemporary Dance (two years)
BA (Hons) in Ballet and Contemporary Dance (one year)

Both courses were introduced in September 2005, validated by the University of Kent

UK/EU students are required to pay standard tuition fees, which are £3,070 for the 2007/08 academic year. The degree courses are open to non-EU students who will, however, be required to pay full tuition fees. Please contact the school for further details.

The degree courses include the study of Ballet and Contemporary Dance technique, pointe, pas de deux, choreography, solo and repertory work, as well as conventional and academic methodology and skills, research and written work.

To qualify for entry, all students must be 16 or over by 1st September in the year they wish to start.

These degree courses focus on the processes of learning and applying a progressively sophisticated body of dance knowledge, understanding and related skills, so that students are able to dance Ballet and Contemporary Dance to at least a professional level and, in many cases, well beyond that. Other aspects of the programme either derive from or support this central process.

The study of choreography within the courses is grounded in the process of learning to dance and in a choreographer's own expertise as a dancer.

Vocational Courses

Rambert School Professional Diploma in Ballet and Contemporary Dance

This is a three-year course which covers all practical aspects of Ballet and Contemporary dance performance and choreography. Student study includes Ballet technique, Contemporary technique, pointe and pas de deux. This course need not include academic studies and so is ideal for students who would like intensive practical training but do not posess the academic skills or English language competence required in order to undertake the degree courses. This is a full fee-paying course.

Postgraduate Study

Doctoral Study (MPhil, PhD)

Rambert School accepts Doctoral projects undertaken on a full or part-time basis.

The school wishes to support PhD projects which involve and investigate professional dance practice through the use of established academic methodology applied at the highest level.
