Drama and Theatre Studies combines academic and practical skills in equal measure. The course offers students the opportunity to study the work of theatrical practitioners; analyse a range of texts and create their own productions utilising performance, design and directorial skills. It is a broad subject, which enables students to think critically and work practically, whilst engaging with historical, social and cultural learning. Although the focus of the course is on theatre; Drama and Theatre Studies engages and nurtures students’ soft and transferrable skills as well as challenging them academically and practically. It is not just recommended to those focused on a career in performance; it is equally valid for students aspiring to other creative careers and those wanting to enter the industry. During holiday time, students are encouraged to engage with outside theatre companies and practitioners and to attend as much theatre as possible.
