The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is now recruiting for two learning and teaching programmes, offering fully funded places: MA Learning and Teaching (Gaelic Arts) and MEd Learning and Teaching in the Performing Arts.

MA Learning and Teaching (Gaelic Arts)

There are 6 fully funded places to offer on this programme. The MA Learning and Teaching (Gaelic Arts) is designed to appeal to fluent Gaelic speakers who work within an arts discipline who want to develop their knowledge and skills in teaching and learning. The programme consists of three main components – learning and teaching modules, Gaelic culture modules and a final open project module that the student would design and undertake. The programme is delivered part-time over three years and through a mixture of online classes and online support, periodic face-to-face sessions at RCS and SMO, and individual tutorials. The programme is designed to be studied alongside and through the individual’s professional commitments, allowing them to gain credit, guidance and support for educational developments that they may already be engaged in professionally. RCS are seeking arts professionals from across the spectrum of performing arts, visual arts, music, television and film, theatre design and production arts who want to enhance their abilities to design and deliver educational experiences for the next generations of Gaelic Arts professionals. http://www.rcs.ac.uk/postgraduate/ma-learning-teaching-gaelic-arts/
