Program description
The fascinating hybrid degree BA (Hons) Drama, Theatre, and Acting combines the academic study of post-Renaissance drama as text with the conservatoire-style study of acting and performance.
You'll learn through an exciting and eclectic mix of theoretical and practical modules, and examine contemporary pieces that deal with political and social issues like:
- LGBT rights
- race
- mental health
- social unrest and more
The programme prepares you for a variety of occupations in theater and the arts thanks to its strong emphasis on employability. You will receive some of your instruction at Oxford's Old Fire Station, a professional theater. This makes it possible for you to gain practical, experience-based skills in all facets of theater production, both on and off the stage.
You'll also take a compulsory work placement module and gain employment skills, including:
- communication
- self-presentation
- interpersonal skills
You'll emerge with valuable insight into the theatre arts industry, along with the practical skills and confidence to start your career.
