Whatever the future holds, students of drama and theatre studies emerge with a tool kit of transferable skills preparing them for their next steps. The course is well and widely respected by Higher Education institutions and employers alike. In fact, since 2012, more than 9,994 students studying at Russell Group universities, have an A-level in drama and theatre studies. Some of our own most successful former students include Michelle Keegan, Coronation Street and Our Girl and Simona Bitmate who starred in Mike Leigh’s Peterloo. This course looks at the practices and theories of classical and contemporary playwrights, directors and practitioners of drama. It aims to develop awareness of a range of significant theatre practitioners through the observation and analysis of existing and emerging performance work, practical exploration of texts and practitioner techniques.
Students will need a minimum of three grade 4s and three grade 5s at GCSE including a grade 5 in GCSE English. GCSE Drama is not a requirement of the course but a passion for the subject is essential. Additional Information: We will consider 1 Vocational qualification in place of a GCSE as long as a grade 5 is achieved in English. Students are also required to pass an audition to study on this subject.
