Overview
Whether you want to be on stage or working behind the scenes, directing professional actors or working with community groups, our Dance, Drama and Musical Theatre degrees will encourage you to push boundaries as you create, collaborate and critically reflect on contemporary performance.
You may wish to develop your expertise as an expressive dance practitioner, hone your craft in acting, directing, writing or applied drama, or combine the practical creation of musical theatre with theoretical study of the genre.
If you want to combine the study of Dance and Drama we offer a dedicated Joint Honours degree, while it is also possible to study Drama with a range of other subjects.
