ACTING BA (HONS)†
BA (Hons) Acting is a practical performance-based
programme, running in parallel with the established
and successful BA (Hons) Theatre. You will become
a member of a shared creative community, where
cultural identity, experimentation and research are
central to the process of making live and recorded
theatre (and related arts). The programme
recognises the importance of craft and technique,
but also of critical thinking, in relation to the
performer at the heart of the creative process of
theatre. You will work with established texts and
develop understanding of key acting styles and
contexts; you will also work to produce and
perform in original work and develop highly relevant
professional contacts that set you up for demanding,
diverse and flexible careers in the performing arts.
THEATRE BA (HONS)
Our BA (Hons) Theatre degree is the leading
undergraduate programme for engaged and practical
theatre-making in a university context. It is a highly
practical programme that will enable you to create a
huge amount of theatre pieces in a wide variety of
contexts. Almost all of these plays and performances
will be rooted in original ideas that have been decided
by you and your fellow students, emerging from
exciting debates and interactions that form the basis
of our workshop teaching. You will present your
work in the ShowRoom, our professional theatre,
and in other highly-specialised spaces, using highquality
production resources and equipment. The
ShowRoom forms the hub of a vibrant community of
artists - students, staff and professional associates -
who share ideas, mentor one another, and contribute
to what is one of the most vibrant, creative
environments for theatre making in the country. Over
the last five years, the BA programme has had the
most consistent overall student satisfaction score of
any drama programme in the country. If you see
yourself creating original theatre, in a wide variety of
contexts, as a dynamic and empowering starting point
for a career in theatre, come along and meet us!
