BA (Hons) Drama and Performance

... United Kingdom
... University of Portsmouth

Course Overview

Take the stage and go behind the scenes to discover the process of making theatre on our BA (Hons) Drama and Performance degree course.

You'll study the theory and history of theatre and drama, and explore drama in many forms: performance through plays, production through devising new shows, techniques in voice, movement, criticism and analysis. After your first year, you can tailor the course to your preferences, from choosing modules you’re most interested in, to designing your own path in your final year project.

At Portsmouth, we give you the power to choose how you’ll create a career in drama and performance – whether it be as an actor, designer, technician, teacher, or working in the community. The world is your stage.
