Drama BA

This programme offers a lively approach to the study of Drama, integrating practical exploration with research-based learning to advance both creative practice and critical inquiry. We offer students an industry-responsive, interdisciplinary education, with many opportunities to connect with industry professionals through guest lectures, workshops, placement experiences and through attending professional theatre productions. Through embodied learning, students will have the chance to engage with a broad sweep of historical and contemporary theatre analysis with specialist modules in, for example, contemporary performance, Irish studies and post-conflict drama, all celebrating the richness and diversity of theatre-making across the island of Ireland. Teaching and research are also strong in the areas of applied theatre and theatre in education, acting theory and practice, with opportunities to explore the interdisciplinarity of theatre across diverse fields such as medical science, psychology, geography, architecture, and social science. In short, the programme aims to enable students to explore the social, cultural, and political dimensions of this vital artform. The Drama team is deeply committed to student support and pastoral care, guiding learners through the transition to higher education and offering sustained career-focused advice and training throughout the programme. This holistic approach ensures that graduates are not only equipped with advanced academic and practical skills but also prepared to contribute meaningfully to the professional theatre landscape and beyond.
