Why study this course with us?

The philosophical basis of the MA Drama course is a belief in artistic development through active self-discovery. Through the teaching and supervision on the course, you shape your own learning on the modules by integrating scholarly frameworks with your own practice. This may be in contemporary performance practices, or more established forms of theatre.

Assessment

Assessment can take the form of performances, lecture demonstrations, practical presentations, workshops, oral examinations, essays, and forms of documentation.

Job prospects

Graduates have formed their own companies, initiated portfolio careers as performers/workshop leaders, undertaken PGCEs, taught in schools and HE, and entered management or training posts. Students on the course have honed their professional performance abilities and demonstrated exceptional transferable skills of communication, self-confidence, energy, and drive – attractive to many employers.

Modules

This module will provide students with the opportunity to interrogate drama and theatre practices within various contexts, mapping out emerging territories of current discourse, theoretical frameworks, and practice-based research. The module will act as a springboard from which students are encouraged to establish authorial engagement and ownership of discursive language, used to frame and navigate personal research, theory and practice.
