Course summary

Our BA Drama course embraces all forms of drama across stage, screen and beyond. You will explore everything from literary adaptation to street theatre, from activist performance to audio design, from playwriting to directing and experimental film cultures. You will benefit from teaching informed by recent innovations in theatre, performance and film studies, as well as by historical practices. Our comprehensive facilities include the purpose-built Martin Harris Centre, home to the John Thaw Studio, a fully staffed, adaptable performance, rehearsal and workshop space. You will also be able to draw inspiration from the creative beating heart of the city itself, home to countless ground-breaking arts organisations and events - from Manchester International Festival, the world's first festival of original work, to HOME, the largest multidisciplinary arts centre outside of the capital. You can also take advantage of strong links to partner organisations throughout the city, including TiPP (Theatre in Prisons and Probation Research and Development Centre), based here at the University, and Community Arts North West. You'll also have the opportunity to engage with professional practitioners working in the cultural industries through your coursework and through extracurricular events.
