BA (Hons) Theatre, Acting & Performance and Film Studies

... United Kingdom
... University of Worcester

Course Overview

All Theatre, Acting & Performance modules are 'practice-based' (i.e. you learn primarily through participation in performance). All students have opportunities to direct, write, devise and design performance work. Alongside, you examine the cultural contexts of drama and the theories that have spurred its development and informed how we understand it.

In Film Studies you are introduced to a wide range of film histories and cultures, covering everything from the Hollywood blockbuster to world cinema. You will study films from a variety of time periods, including recent releases.

Film Studies develop student skills in practice-as-research and research-as-practice for a number of culture and media industries including exhibition, distribution, audience-based marketing, journalism, film education, curating, programming, filmmaking, screenwriting, and further academic research.

There are excellent career opportunities for Theatre, Acting & Performance graduates. These are both in drama-related areas, such as theatre, education, and the media, and in a wide range of other fields of employment made accessible through skills learned on the course in presentation, performance, critical thinking and writing, creativity, confidence, and communication. Former students often set up their own businesses, for example as small-scale touring theatre companies or drama education providers. Past students are now working as actors, producers, stage managers, and directors for employers across the areas of theatre, TV, radio, and film. Teaching and lecturing are very popular career choices for our graduates, as are arts administration and marketing.
