On January 1, 2011 the two academies Dramatiska institutet (the Dramatic Institute/University College of Film, Radio, Television and Theatre) and Teaterhögskolan i Stockholm (Swedish National Academy of Dramatic Arts/Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts) founded a new academy: Stockholms dramatiska högskola, Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts (SADA). SADA is now Sweden’s largest institution for higher education in the arts of film, radio, television and theatre with BA and MA courses together with research. SADA is a national university and offers University Diploma in Performing Arts and Media. The professional training aims at enabling the students to start a professional career directly after their graduation. The Diploma programmes consist of three years full-time studies, leading to a bachelor's degree, consisting of practical production and team-exercises linked to theoretical specific and interdisciplinary courses. The programmes concentrate mainly on practical work, but also include theory. Continual contact with professionals and professional work is maintained by means of guest lecturers, study visits, and co-productions with other institutions, film companies, radio teams, and theatres. SADA also offer postgraduate courses, as well as shorter courses as further education for professionals within the field of theatre and media.
