BA Drama

This programme allows you to combine a strong practical emphasis with the study of the theory, history and social significance of drama, complemented by detailed study of dramatic literature and aspects of visual and technical design.
Alongside your academic studies, you will participate in a major practical project each year as well as undertaking a wide variety of applied drama work (working with real world clients to devise plays and workshops); there is also the opportunity for you to study on placement with professional companies. There is a strong emphasis on practical training work, in acting (for stage and film), directing and devising, but also in the technical aspects of stagecraft: and you will work closely with MA theatre directors, scriptwriters and literature and drama students.
An important adjunct to the course is the highly regarded Minotaur Student Theatre Company, which enables you to gain additional performance, technical and scriptwriting experience.
