Earning a degree in theatre and performance can pave the way to an array of exciting career opportunities – on the stage and behind the scenes. Whether you’re looking to perform in front of live audiences or on screen, direct your own productions or make devised performances for touring, or write your own plays or screenplays, our theatre and performance degree course will give you the tools you need to take the first step in your chosen profession.
Delivering a diverse range of learning opportunities across the spectrum from mainstream stage, TV and radio to experimental performance forms and multimedia work, this course gives you the chance to combine academic study with practical approaches to performance. You’ll develop the skills and knowledge you need to establish yourself as a theatre and performance professional, as well as have many extra curricula opportunities to gain invaluable voluntary (sometimes paid) work experience through our substantial relationships with creative professionals working in the industry, some of whom also teach on our skills-based optional modules.
You’ll be able to choose from a wide range of options to suit your individual interests, from theatre acting and directing, playwriting, making theatre for engagement in communities, to acting and presenting for TV and for motion capture, and more. You’ll also take part in publicly performed projects, led by professional directors. And as your studies in theatre and performance progress, you’ll form your own groups to rehearse and produce your own theatre work, performed to a public audience at our graduate festival: Debut.
There will also be an opportunity to study a semester abroad in your second year.
