Undergraduate study
Drama with a Minor in Business Studies
This multi-disciplinary degree is designed to be especially attractive to would-be undergraduates interested in a career in arts or theatre administration, or in setting up and running their own small company in the creative industries. In Drama, the main teaching modes comprise seminar discussion and practical workshop sessions, which explore play texts, theoretical writings, performance traditions and techniques, and examine the theatre’s role and function in society throughout history.
European, American and non-Western theatre traditions are studied as well as British theatre. Technical theatre lighting, sound, set and costume, television drama, and playwriting are also available. Practical work takes place primarily in the Department’s theatre spaces and rehearsal room. The Sir Robert Martin Theatre seats up to 300 spectators and has a proscenium arch, which is easily adapted to accommodate other forms of production.
The Leonard Dixon Studio and the Rehearsal Room are flexible spaces seating up to 86 and 45 respectively. In Business Studies, students study specialist Business School modules in human resource management, finance, marketing, strategic management and entrepreneurship.
