Careers in Dance Science and Education

Graduates from our programme are equipped for a variety of roles in dance, including as teacher, practitioner or researcher. Key industry leaders speak highly of graduates of our Dance Science and Education programme.

Roles our students have taken up include:

  • Dance instructors
  • Dance teachers in schools at all levels
  • Dance performers at all levels
  • Researchers in the areas of dance, sport science and medicine

We are keen to show our students what it is like to work in a high-quality research environment, and we provide a good introduction for anyone interested in pursuing research at PhD level.
