Master Arts — Arts de la scène

The tuition fee is 250 EUR per year.

Arts de la scène (performing arts) is a track of the Master Arts at Aix-Marseille Université, based in Marseille Cedex 3, France. Performing arts as a discipline covers theatre, dance, and other live performance forms, studied through both practical training and theoretical and historical analysis. Typical subjects include theatre and performance history, dramaturgy, staging and directing techniques, performance theory, and often practical workshops in acting, movement, or production. Students in this kind of program usually study how performance works as both an art form and a social practice, examining how staging choices, bodies, space, and audience shape the meaning of a live performance, alongside the historical and cultural contexts that have shaped performance traditions. Coursework often combines academic writing and analysis with hands-on involvement in creating or producing performance work, since the discipline treats practice and theory as informing one another rather than as separate tracks. Because live performance depends on collaboration among performers, directors, and technical or production staff, programs in this field also expose students to the organizational side of staging a production. Graduates from performing arts programs typically pursue careers as performers, directors, dramaturgs, arts administrators, or cultural program coordinators, or continue toward research in performance studies. The program is a master's degree lasting 2 years, taught in French, with an inferred start date in September, based in Marseille Cedex 3, France, with yearly tuition of 250 EUR.

Aix-Marseille University is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, hosting 80,000 students and 8,000 staff across five large campuses. It is a research-intensive institution known for its international outlook and commitment to academic excellence.
