Speech and Drama

Course summary

The opportunities for students of Drama have continued to develop over the last decade, perhaps nowhere more so than in the Midlands. As Birmingham continues to be promoted as the nation’s “Second City” and attracts major Arts organisations to the area, so the West Midlands is becoming recognised as a centre for Culture and the Arts. This qualification offers an engaging programme to support learners who want to pursue a career in drama or have an interest in this expressive art form. You will be offered the opportunity to develop a range of technical skills and attributes expected by employers with some opportunity to select between optional units. You will study, research and perform a range of styles as well as be able to devise their own performances and perform at a wide variety of events and showcases.
