Central offers a PG Certificate in Applied Theatre with Young People (PGATYP) in Directing Text in association with the National Theatre, as part of their Connections Scheme. You apply initially through the scheme at The National Theatre.

• Combines the National Theatre Youth Connections Scheme with academic study • Integrates theory and practical work in directing with young people • Applied theatre at Central is highly regarded internationally as a world leader with the largest number of specialist teaching staff in the field

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.
