With ample opportunity to see a range of plays and productions, along with our expert teachers, our course is a fantastic choice for those that have a desire to study the development of theatre and its practitioners as well as wanting to produce their own performances. You will also have the chance to help with the running of drama events staged throughout the year, giving you valuable “backstage” insight and experience.

Our theatre students leave well equipped to continue their studies in degree courses such as drama, performing arts, English, journalism/media studies, stage management and arts management.
