Bachelor of Arts Drama

BA(Hons) Drama is perfect for those who love theatre making and appreciate a challenge. Work closely with UWE's supportive theatre community to share ideas and work collectively on productions. Develop talent on a path of discovery through every facet of theatre. Choose from a wide selection of modules to become a theatre maker with a wealth of experience, abilities and creativity.

Students can focus on the areas of expertise they're passionate about such as writing, directing, devising physical theatre, and acting. Specialize in directing, technical theatre or writing and graduate with the degree title Drama with Creative Writing, Drama with Technical Theatre or Drama with Theatre Directing.

Students will have a wealth of opportunities to develop personally and gain real-world experience. UWE works closely with the local theatre network and supports students to form their own theatre company, producing their own extra-curricular work and making the most of rehearsal and performance space.

As a writer, director, technician, and/or performer, students will write, devise and produce original performances for their assessed final year projects, which will then be featured in UWE's end of year public Degree Show. Specialist masterclasses led by staff and industry professionals will give students the chance to develop specific skills in areas such as puppetry, auditioning and stage combat.
