Bachelor of Arts (Honoprs) - Drama and Sport and Exercise Science (DE14)

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 students 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.

Studying Sport and Exercise is a gateway to understanding how to maximize sports performance, how people learn skills and the importance of regular exercise to health and longevity. Students will study from a multidisciplinary perspective, focusing on psychology, physiology, biomechanics, performance analysis, nutrition and strength & conditioning. By the end of their studies they will confidently and independently develop training programs and interventions that will promote peak performance, the learning of new skills and reduce the burden of disease.

Students can study in Liverpool Hope University's multi-million pound, state-of-the-art Health Science Building and Sports Complex, incorporating dedicated teaching laboratories and research space. This facility houses ultra-modern equipment where they will learn to conduct complete physiological, psychological and biomechanical profiles of human sports performance using breath-by-breath expired gas analysis, blood analysis, vascular and cardiac screening, body composition analysis, eye-tracking, electromyography and motion capture to name but a few.

Students will leave with the skills to become a sports scientist working with elite performers or clinical populations, the basis to become a sports coach, or enter the teaching profession and train the next generation of sport scientists. They will be taught by tutors who are active researchers at the cutting edge of Sport & Exercise Science, and whom regularly publish their work to international audiences.
