MA in Shakespeare and Contemporary Performance

Birkbeck College, University of London

ESRA members and their students may be interested in this new Masters programme, taught in conjunction with Shakespeare’s Globe, currently recruiting for Autumn 2010. In keeping with Birkbeck’s historic mission of adult education, all teaching on this course takes place in the evenings, for the convenience of students supporting themselves in London by working during the day.

or contact Michael Dobson.
As well as being interested in hearing from potential students, Birkbeck would be happy to speak with other European institutions about the possibility of credit-sharing arrangements.
