Programme specification:
The programme offers a unique blend of performance and cultural industries that sets it apart from its competitors both in the UK and internationally. Studying these two areas in conjunction with each other allows the student to develop the following attributes:
- The creativity of the artist
- The insight of the cultural activist
- The dynamism of the entrepreneur
These attributes prepare graduates for a wide variety of employment destinations across the creative and cultural industries. Opportunities to connect with industry and professional practitioners are embedded within the programme. A distinctive feature is the programme’s engagement with the social impact agenda. Every student works in collaboration with external agencies and organisations as part of their taught curriculum. The quality and diversity of these partnerships provide students with a rich learning experience that also enhances their employability.
The curriculum consists of a core set of modules that delivers key conceptual frameworks for theoretical and creative study, complemented by an exciting range of options and Discovery modules rooted in staff research activity. Students will have the opportunity to identify their own specialist interests within the curriculum and experience a range of different approaches. The teaching team offer a wide variety of disciplinary specialisms from across the fields of performance and the cultural industries, including performer training, applied performance, movement and physical theatre, arts management, arts and cultural education, enterprise and cultural policy, performance design, history and dramaturgy, writing and textual analysis, devising and directing. Suitably qualified students will be able to Study Abroad or opt for an Industry or Enterprise year, thereby broadening student experience and strengthening global and cultural insights.
The School’s relationship with the University’s public licensed professional theatre provides many opportunities for students to become involved in its activities both through the curriculum and as volunteers. This offers the unique experience of working in a professional theatre environment within a university context.
