Lecturer MA Voice Pedagogy

The Voice Study Centre delivers high-quality online education and professional training. We utilise leading specialists from all over the world to contribute to our ongoing professional development program. Working in partnership with the University of Wales Trinity St David and the University of Essex, we jointly deliver an MA in Professional Practice (Voice Pedagogy). Our MA program is a taught/research hybrid with a modular framework and a final dissertation. We currently house a thriving community of 230 MA students, many of whom develop innovative work, deliver at conferences, and publish. We view working with the performance community as a privilege and pride ourselves on our student support mechanisms and program flexibility.

We are looking for qualified lecturers to deliver a range of modules on our MA Voice Pedagogy. We have opportunities for those who are seeking a short-term contract or to work on a freelance basis.

The course operates remotely, and our postgraduate students have busy schedules with demanding professional roles.
