In year one, the core programme focuses on developing the skills of performance, on the awareness of voice and body and the developing of skills in both devising and text-based theatre.
In year two, the course examines the concept of 'production' in theatre and performing arts.

Alongside this independent focus, students will be able to choose an elective programme which best suits their likely career/academic path following graduation.
