Master in Theatre

Oriented towards artistic research and its applications, this master's degree adopts a practical approach of creativity and the hybridation of disciplines. 


The Master in Theatre aims to train creative individuals capable of maintaining and renewing the aesthetic paradigms of the stage. It includes two orientations, one in Stage direction and one in Scenography, working together on a regular basis. 

The programme is established in collaboration with Switzerland’s three other performing arts schools, namely Berne (HKB), Zurich (ZHdK) and Verscio (ATD), as part of the Master-Campus (MCTS) programme.

The Master Theatre welcomed students in stage direction and set design from 2012 to 2024. This course will now cease to be offered and its last graduates will complete their studies in 2026. The Master in Scenic Arts will take over in 2025, with an interdisciplinary programme combining choreography, stage direction and scenography, designed to address contemporary issues in the performing arts while strengthening links with the professional world.

You can find all the information about the Master's in Scenic Arts on the dedicated page .
