New Technical Course at QMUC

Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh has recently validated a new programme titled BA / BA(Hons) in Theatre Production. This course replaces our older programme in Stage Management and Theatre Production which has been running successfully for some seven years.

The new title for the degree is simply the BA / BA Hons. Theatre Production. This dynamic new course will offer;

  • One semester studying Set Design and Construction
  • One semester studying Stage Management
  • One semester studying Lighting and Sound
  • Continuous training in Technical Stage Craft

After this initial grounding in Theatre Production students will then continue to spend a further three semesters pursuing their studies in one of the following specialist strands.

  • Set Design and Construction
  • Stage Management
  • Lighting and Sound

At the end of their third year having completed six semesters students will have the opportunity to specialise for a further year and receive the award of BA Hons. Theatre Production.

The new programme aims to produce graduates working in all of the following professions:

  • Set Designer
  • Scenic Carpenter
  • Scenic Artist
  • Props Maker
  • Stage Manager
  • Lighting Designer
  • Sound Designer
  • Deputy Stage Manager
  • Assistant Stage Manager
  • Lighting Technician
  • Sound Technician
  • Technical Stage Manager

The School has a long track record in producing highly skilled graduates in the areas of stage management and theatre technicians. However the biggest advantage of the new course is the opportunity it offers to develop the intense craft skills required in the areas of scenographic design and construction. We are particularly keen to receive applicants for this new strand.
