Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Drama and Early Childhood (WXK3)

Students will explore performance in the heart of the city of Liverpool. They will learn about the origins of drama and develop their skills in making new work.

Liverpool Hope University’s creative community is internationally renowned and world-leading in drama research and practice. Students will develop their acting skills, their ability to facilitate drama sessions, as well as improving their critical writing skills. The university makes use of the many theatre venues in Liverpool, from the traditional Everyman/Playhouse to the experimental Tate Liverpool as well as their own Capstone Theatre, several well-equipped studio theatre spaces dedicated for student use, and their very own Hope Theatre Company – of which they could play a part.

Throughout students' time at Liverpool Hope University, they will be asked to explore drama in relation to their own skills and interests, helping them to understand the critical place of drama in the 21st-century. The university's motto is to ‘educate in the round’, meaning students will develop transferrable social skills to take to future employers and make a difference in the workplace.

The undergraduate program in Early Childhood Studies provides a higher level of academic study that will extend students' knowledge and understanding of children in their early years.

The Early Childhood team aims to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment for all students through a high level of tutor support, access to exceptional University resources and engagement with Liverpool Hope University's multidisciplinary teaching team with wide experience in research, practice and policy in the field. Together with the vital ingredient of their commitment as a student, these elements will enrich their learning experience. The university also aims to enhance this where possible through engaging invited speakers and field visits to relevant spaces in Liverpool, a city rich in community connection and cultural experience.
