The Advanced Certificate in Theatre Studies (Advanced) course was a great experience for me. Coming from Brazil, I was interested in learning more about the international theatre scene and this course provided a solid foundation. The course materials were well-structured and easy to follow, and I appreciated the flexibility of the online format. One of the highlights of the course was the module on theatre history, which gave me a new perspective on the evolution of theatrical practices. I also enjoyed the discussions with my peers from different cultural backgrounds, which added a rich layer of diversity to the learning experience. While there were some areas where I felt the course could be improved, overall I'm satisfied with what I achieved and would recommend it to others looking to broaden their theatre knowledge.
