    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Ormskirk

  • Duration

    3 Years

Presenting representations of fictional and nonfictional worlds, revealing gripping stories of right and wrong, and asking questions about what society expects of men and women could describe storytelling through acting, directing, writing and applied drama, or observing the spectacular illusions, extravagant lies and glimpses of shadowy truths that have emerged from the world of film and cinema. Studying both drama and film studies on this degree will enhance your artistic technique and vision in our professional theatre spaces and immerse you in the culture, history and development of one of the most powerfully influential media forms to emerge in the twentieth century. You will gain a broad-based education in drama and theatre, balancing practical creativity and theoretical study, while also enhancing your understanding of film from basic approaches to highly sophisticated interpretative and analytical strategies.
