Drama, Theatre and Performing Arts - BA (Hons)

At Kent, you will develop your individual voice and hone skills to express yourself creatively through performance. Whether you want to be a stand-up comedian, actor, director, writer, producer, choreographer, or set designer – or even start your own theatre company – you’ll have the opportunity to explore your passions at Kent. With a wide range of topics including acting, community theatre, musical theatre, puppetry, dance, stand-up comedy, and even alternative cabaret, there are plenty of opportunities to tailor the programme to your interests. Theatre, drama and performance have the power to connect people, bring communities together and examine big issues. You’ll explore all this when you join our warm and inclusive creative community. Our strong connections with industry and local arts venues will give you the chance to put your learning and creativity into action through placements, internships and other opportunities. You can see shows and even take part in them at our fantastic on-campus venue, the Gulbenkian Arts Centre – which puts on an incredible programme of theatre, dance, music and film. You can also take this course with a year in industry or year abroad.
