Course programme
In joint degrees, each subject figures equally, with the same number of modules from each subject. In your first year, you take performance-orientated practical modules, plus lectures and seminars on critical approaches to theatre and contemporary and historical contexts of performance. There are three core English modules: English Landmark Texts, Introduction to Renaissance Literature and Introduction to Literary Studies.
Second year students choose options ranging from acting classes to lighting design, and Greek Tragedy to Modern British Theatre Companies.
In your final year you develop skills in independent study, you take three options covering a range of aspects of theatre from different cultures and periods of theatre history to practical specialisms.
The English aspect of the course allows you to choose your own selection of modules in the second and third years. The only limitation is that we require every student to read some pre-1800 and some post-1800 literature. All of this is complemented by a lecture course that examines acting, directing and scenography.
