Voice Pedagogy
Voice Study Centre is an Associate College of the University of Essex.
Our Voice Pedagogy programmes enable practitioners to explore and apply evidence-based research to their professional practice.
Each year, some of our students publish their work, deliver at conferences and / or progress to a PhD.
All our courses are fully online and available to study internationally.
MA Voice Pedagogy (two-year, part-time, fully online)
Available as both full-time (one year) or part-time (two year), our MA Voice Pedagogy is a structured taught pathway that facilitates a deep understanding of the what, the why, and the how of voice teaching and training. This innovative postgraduate pathway facilitates the research of new areas of learning, facilitating the design and implementation of new initiatives that contribute to an individual’s practice, organisation, and professional network. You will engage with a range of voice-related theories and practices to develop a critically informed approach to working. The course balances academic research with practical application, beginning with a thorough grounding of Voice Pedagogy and culminating in a dissertation on any area of your choosing.
