UCAS Codes: Joint Honours only - see Combined Subjects page

Drama is a course for the curious and the creative, for those students who relish an intellectual challenge.

Our course places a particular emphasis not just on theatre but on the culture surrounding it. You study theatre history and theory as well as plays and practitioners. Underpinning all of this work is the development of your critical and creative thinking skills.

In our degree, practice and theory are integrated. In workshops you will be expected to have an awareness of theory and, similarly, an awareness of practice in your lecture/seminars. However, we believe that theory springs from practice, which is why we place such an emphasis on contemporary theatre and encourage you to exploit all that London offers in the way of live performance.
