The Master Programmes and the Lectorate of the Academy of Theatre and Dance (ATD) are housed together in the Grootlab location at Overhoeksplein 2 in Amsterdam-Noord. They currently form the "DAS Graduate School" component.
The name “DAS Graduate School” will be changed to “DAS Master Programmes and ATD Lectorate” as of 1 July 2025. In this way, the Master Programmes of the ATD (DAS Theatre, DAS Choreography and DAS Creative Producing) and the ATD Lectorate (formerly DAS Research) are also clearly linked to the Academy of Theatre and Dance in communication and naming.
The duties that Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca fulfilled as head of DAS Graduate School are taken over by several colleagues within the DAS Master Programmes, the ATD Lectorate and the ATD. We warmly thank Laura for her commitment as head over the past years. We would also like to thank here the other staff members who have dedicated themselves to DAS Graduate School in recent years. They will continue their current work under the official names of DAS Master Programmes and the Lectorate of the Academy of Theatre and Dance.
Mechtild van den Hombergh (managing director a.i. Academy of Theatre and Dance):
The Academy of Theatre and Dance is proud of its 12 Bachelor Programmes, 3 Master Programmes, 1 Associate Degree Programme, 2 Preliminary Educational Programmes, its Lectorate including THIRD (the 3rd Cycle peer-to-peer Research Group) and remains committed to more alignment, cooperation and exchange between the different programmes and the lectorate within the academy.’
