The Dance in Education study programme truly prepares you for the professional field. Through the internships, you will learn to know yourself extremely well, because you will be working with so many different target groups, cultures, visions and dance sources. You will learn to think big and in an enterprising way. Internships often become work places ultimately, which shows how well the study programme ties in with the dynamic field of work.’

Once you have completed this study programme, you will receive the title Bachelor of Education (BEd) and you will set to work as a driven professional in the field of arts education. You can start working in education or as an independent dance professional and cultural entrepreneur. You will be a teacher at dance schools, in primary and/or secondary education or at youth centres. Or you will work in educational departments of dance companies, arts centres or in community dance projects, which are becoming increasingly popular.

After completing their Bachelor’s degree, students from the teacher training programmes for Dance, Theatre, Visual arts and design, and Music can continue studying in the interdisciplinary two-year Master of Education in Arts programme of the Amsterdam University of the Arts.
