Course programme
BA Modern Drama Studies
Full-Time Programme
Central to the philosophy of Arts at Brunel is our belief that your participation in creative work should underpin the critical perspectives you will gain as a student at Brunel. In every subject we try to establish as close a relationship as possible between theoretical and practical study. The resulting courses will therefore help you to develop practical skills to a high level and stretch and challenge you intellectually.
All our undergraduate programmes focus on the meanings experienced in art-works, on the role of the performer in creating a work's meaning and, even more fundamental, on what a 'work of art' actually is. The subjects are all rooted in contemporary practices, and a feature of our endeavours is our annual 'Open House' Festival, in which students have an opportunity to showcase their work.
The Drama degree specialises in contemporary performance theory and practice and is aimed at students with an interest in devising, directing, acting, writing or the application of technology to performance. You will undertake a rigorous investigation of a range of performance practices and will be encouraged to develop your own style and to see your work in relation to appropriate models.
