The Drama and Theatre Studies Practice-Based programme allows academic research to be conducted through practical experimentation.

It also provides a unique opportunity for students to specialise in a particular area of practice and prepares them for their chosen profession.

The Department’s diverse expertise and exceptional facilities open up a wide range of practical research opportunities, such as the investigation of the processes of theatre making or the practical application of particular aesthetic theories.

Students' thesis must fully contextualise the practice and substantiate the claim that their work is innovative and demonstrates extension of the boundaries of the chosen field of research and practice. The MA by Research is assessed by a shorter thesis of 20,000 words.

Please be advised that this programme requires a supervisor.
