Single Honours Degrees

BA (Hons) Drama, Performance and Theatre Arts

BA (Hons) Theatre Studies and Technical Stage Production

These integrated awards give students the opportunity to engage with Theatre, Plays, Documentary Drama, Live Art, Technical Theatre, Stage Management and other theatre crafts in the context of professional theatre and contemporary performance. If you undertake the "Drama, Performance and Theatre Arts" course, then acting will be fundamental to your studies and you will also have opportunities to explore other theatre production disciplines, such as costume, settings,
marketing and so-on. Students who undertake the "Technical Stage Production" course will specialise in stage management, lighting and sound but will not be required to perform as actors unless they opt to do so. It is important to stress that, whilst they are intensively practical, these are not vocational training courses.

Both awards use workshops, rehearsals and staged productions to explore plays, ideas and methodologies in performance and production, while academic modules are taught via lectures and seminars. You will be assessed by presentations, coursework or take-away papers and will not be required to sit formal exams.
