Theatre & Performance

Our BA Theatre and Performance degree will prepare and inspire you for a career in the creative industries. You’ll learn the skills needed for developing and staging performances, and also explore the many cultural and political questions being raised in contemporary theatre.

Develop your knowledge as a theatre-maker and scholar, and learn how to make creative practice with a purpose. Across your degree, you’ll explore how directors, designers, writers, technicians and other theatre-makers respond to and shape our rapidly changing world, and develop your ability to make politically engaged and creatively ambitious performance. You'll encounter a range of contemporary performance practices and develop your creative confidence and ‘voice’ through experimentation and exploration in our purpose-built, industry-standard Minghella Studios. You'll have access to three flexible theatre spaces, a multi-camera film and TV studio, a digital cinema, and a dedicated recording studio and mixing suite.
