MA Design for Performance / MA Cynllunio ar gyfer Perfformio

Dear Design for Performance Students, 

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on receiving a place on the MA Design for Performance and I look forward to meeting you again in September.  

You’ll shortly begin your studies with us and we will support you during the period of settling into a new way of working and studying.

I would also like to reassure you that we are planning for you to engage with your studies in September. We will prioritise new students to experience the best possible introduction to the College. 

This is the beginning of what will be an intensive, enjoyable and ultimately rewarding passage of your life towards your chosen vocation.  The emphasis is on all of those three areas, you have a lot to learn but with your commitment you should find the course challenging but ultimately satisfying, both educationally and socially. The course is as stipulated in open days and interviews, is an extremely demanding training programme. Each step challenges both your ability and your stamina, preparing you for employment in the very demanding areas of performance design. 

We are a small tight-knit department, with a belief in the student’s educational and general well-being. The staff are accessible at all times and we run an open door policy which presents you with access to tutorial support on an informal as well as a formal basis.  Be sure to use this facility if you have.  In addition, the College has a discreet counselling service which is available at all times for your consultation.  This may be of particular use in the first weeks, as the change of location and a new working environment can sometimes prove unsettling. 

We don’t provide specific equipment lists for all MA students at this stage, you are advised to wait until you arrive on the first day of term and we can have a discussion about what you need for your selected pathway. Anything needed urgently will be provided. 

The College can provide a basic starting toolbox for a discount price when you arrive, this will give you most of what you need to begin the course (please see the Design for Performance Equipment List). We will supply all materials and some tools for the initial classes but you will need to develop, during and certainly after the course, your own distinct tool box and equipment to suit your own specialist pathway. 

Once again, I look forward to meeting you and your fellow students in person and I’ll talk to you all on your first day.  Student Services should have been in contact and you will probably have begun the search for your accommodation – if you haven’t, make sure you do not leave it too late. 

See you soon. 

Yours sincerely
