Location of The University of Edinburgh
Edinburgh is one of Europe's most beautiful and friendliest capital cities: a lively, cosmopolitan cultural centre and a great place to study. It is home to numerous theatres (including Scotland's major new writing theatre, the Traverse), and of course to the Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. With all the opportunities these festivals bring, as well as its wealth of galleries and cultural institutes, Edinburgh has a lot to offer students of theatre.
As part of its postgraduate programmes, the University of Edinburgh offers a taught MSc in European Theatre. The programme is designed to combine wide-ranging study of the major movements in European theatre with detailed analysis of the most important drama texts. The course is taught on a full-time or part-time basis.
