Theatre and Film

This joint honours degree allows you to combine the study of theatre and film. You will study the historical, contextual and critical study of theatre, film and television alongside practice-based investigations of theatre, film and television.

There are opportunities to engage with industry professionals and to use our museum-accredited archive, the Theatre Collection. We also have strong links with theatres, arts centres and media companies.

In your first year, you will attend lectures, seminars and workshops that will introduce you to analysing performance in a wide variety of forms from stage to screen. You will also be introduced to a range of practical skills in theatre and film.

In subsequent years, you can choose units exploring significant historical movements, contemporary practices and theoretical concepts. Your final year independent study projects can mix group or individual performance, a short film, a written dissertation, an industrial placement or an industry study.
