Course Summary

We recognise the importance and potential of theatre as an art form. Our goal is to promote pupils’ personal, social, spiritual and cultural development through theatre and performance.

Why study PGCE (Secondary) Drama at Goldsmiths?

  • If you want to empower young people through Drama then this is the course for you. You'll learn about the process of teaching and performance, observe Drama in schools, look at the work of key practitioners, and develop the conceptual underpinnings of classroom practice.

  • You will also work on your performance skills and analyse them from the perspective of a viewer.
  • You will work with school-based tutors (heads of department or experienced Drama specialists), and be supported by alumni as “buddies”.
