Description

This immersive and varied degree is centred on creativity, giving you the opportunity to grow as an artist.

Do you thrive on performing live and creating unique theatre experiences? Do you want to make work that speaks about important social issues? Are you ready for the talent of others to inspire your own growth as a performer? If the answer is ‘yes’ then our Drama & Theatre course is a great match for you!

This course is practice-led, so you’ll be writing, directing, performing and exploring - using your mind and body creatively together. You’ll select modules that match your interests to become a theatre practitioner, an expert in your field.  

This course is designed so you can make the kind of performances you want to see in the world.  We help you to find your own unique voice and style, building the confidence to bring your whole creative self to the stage. The course emphasises contemporary performance practice, so you are encouraged to respond to social and political events you feel passionate about or want to develop a deeper understanding of.

You will gain excellent experience of working both independently and alongside other students not just in your own year group, but across the course. You’ll be taught by experts with experience of writing and performing a variety of work and who write and theorise about the role and importance of drama and theatre in the 21st century.

You will also get immersed in a whole variety of opportunities: from making performing your own work to being in the work of other students, including an end of year large outdoor performance to a public audience, a field trip to Europe, establishing your own theatre company for our annual creative showcase and working with recognised theatre companies outside the University. You will work with a variety of visiting artists and develop skills that enhance your career prospects.
