First Year Pathway in English, Media, Drama, and Writing - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Musical Theatre

Program Description If communication is of interest to students and wanting to explore how humans use words, stories and images to express their ideas, then an English, media, drama and writing pathway could be fitting. The English and writing courses let students develop their own style of writing and explore facets of English language, literature and linguistics that fascinate them. The film and media courses let students explore the culture of communication, and develop their own style of media production – while focusing on the skills and knowledge valued by employers. As a Musical Theatre student at ARU, students will train with industry professionals, take part in showcases and productions from Year 1, and gain real-world experience. On the BA (Hons) Musical Theatre degree students will gain skills unique to musical theatre training, specifically actor-musicianship, physical theatre, dance and choreography. Tutors will include established musical directors, artistic directors and choreographers – and they will learn in professional facilities including our Mumford Theatre.

With a buzzing creative scene, and opportunities to perform in renowned local venues, Cambridge is the perfect place to study Musical Theatre. Students can even choose to study abroad for a semester, with funding on offer to help cover the cost.
