Course Overview

Our course is perfect for creative types. Upon graduation, you’ll be ready to break into the world of cinema, the stage, and behind the scenes - and a whole range of other graduate careers in the arts, media, education, and the creative industries. We don’t stop there though, we make sure you know the theory behind the theatre and the screen too.

You study themes in drama such as gender, identity, tragedy, human rights, devising, and playwriting. Your film modules explore directing, screenwriting, classic and contemporary texts, and many aspects of screen media, from cinema to social media.

You also gain skills in technical theatre and film production, like design and stage management, camerawork, editing, and film-making. You’ll still write essays as in any other Humanities degree, but alongside honing your critical writing and thinking, you’ll also have the chance to be assessed on your creativity, performance, and technical skills.
