Who is this course for?

This programme is designed to enable students to examine, question and challenge the nature and function of drama, theatre and performance. Its educational ethos and structural organisation encourages students to encounter and approach drama, theatre and performance as intrinsically interrelated intellectual, cultural and artistic practices.

Students on the programme are empowered to enhance their understanding through experience, learning through doing, and to develop strategies for independent and collaborative working. In the process, they not only gain detailed subject specific knowledge and understanding, they also acquire valuable transferable intellectual and social skills.

The programme can also be completed as a BA/BSc Combined Honours.
