Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Drama and Theatre (W400)

Students will explore theatre and performance in the heart of the city of Liverpool. They will learn about the origins of current practices and develop their hands-on 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 and directing skills, their ability to facilitate drama sessions and their devising skills, as well as improving their critical writing skills. The university makes full 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 and several well-equipped studio theatre spaces dedicated for student use.

Throughout students' time at Liverpool Hope University, they will be asked to explore performance in relation to historical and contemporary social and ethical contexts, helping them to understand the critical place of the performing arts in 21st-century society. The university's motto is to ‘educate in the round’, meaning students will develop aesthetic and social skills designed to equip them with the skills to become a potential future leader in the subject of drama.
