Drama BA (Hons)

The degree in Drama allows you to develop a broad base of knowledge of Drama practices and approaches. The first year offers a strong grounding in the subject, with modules in Acting, Stage Management, Dramatic Theory and Practice.

There are particular areas of specialist practice that you can develop as you progress through each level of the degree. If you wish to pursue a creative career, you can take modules that introduce you to the principles of acting, writing, directing, arts education and community development. These can prepare you for further specialist professional training at post-graduate level, or for entry into full-time work.

You will develop a core set of academic skills in research, analysis and communication. Alongside these, you will also develop transferable skills in group work, project management, problem solving and the use of key technologies.

The BA Drama programme is designed specifically to facilitate the development of your ability to work independently. We will offer you extensive support and guidance through our Studies Advice system, as you develop the skills necessary to carry out rigorous and sustained independent research and practice. In this way, you will develop key skills alongside professional competencies you can draw on in your future career.
