Course Overview

This BA Theatre and English at Birkbeck puts you at the heart of central London’s vibrant cultural scene. You can investigate theatre as a live event, as dramatic text, and in its historical contexts alongside a deep focus on the written word.

Your in-depth exploration of theatre histories and theories will complement and expand your study of literature in English. You will analyze techniques and practices of storytelling on the stage and on the page, garnering a detailed knowledge of dramatic and literary works from the medieval period to the present. Option modules allow you to focus on authors, genres, periods, and practices from Shakespeare to science fiction, and to create theatre as an artist and writer if you wish.

Throughout your degree, you will visit the world’s most exciting theatre institutions and analyze live and digital performances. Your final full-length dissertation project examines a topic of your choosing under the guidance of our world-leading academics. BA Theatre and English at Birkbeck brings you the best of both worlds of theatre and literature.

Graduates can pursue career paths in education, marketing, and public relations, the media and creative arts, or theatre. Possible professions include:

journalist

arts administrator

charity officer

community arts worker

theatre director.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond. At every stage of your career journey, we empower you to take ownership of your future, helping you to make the connection between your experience, education, and future ambitions.
