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. A Level Drama is useful for students wishing to take their studies further in Performing Arts, Theatre Design, Costume Design, Journalism or Media Studies. The course is a good foundation for careers in Performance, Education, Media, Public Relations, Marketing or Law.
