Study at Post-Grad Level with us!

From September 2024 you’ll get the opportunity to study at Post Graduate level with The Paper Birds when we begin our very own Masters Degree with the University of Chichester.

The MA in Devised Theatre in association with The Paper Birds will launch next autumn, from the University’s Chichester (Bishop’s Otter) Campus. The programme will focus on devised and collaborative theatre making, emphasising socially engaged and applied arts practices. You’ll learn to shape your individual practice, collaborate, and create and produce wraparound services and projects.
