  • Combines the National Theatre Youth Connections Scheme with academic studies
  • Integrates theory and practical work in directing with young people

The PGATYP is designed to provide a qualification based on work undertaken in partnership with the National Theatre in directing theatre and drama with young people (young people are usually interpreted as up to the age of 25 years). The course offers direct entry to Central’s MA Applied Theatre on successful completion of the PGATYP.
