Students will be committing themselves to the duration of the course which consists of three units which run over two years. Throughout the course students will study a variety of texts and will be exposed to as much live theatre as possible. There are opportunities to devise your own work and also to work with challenging and engaging texts. Students who choose Drama and Theatre Studies as an option must be clear that although some of the course is practically based, there is a significant amount of theory, with written coursework and an exam making up for 64% of the marks.
