**Course Overview**This programme consists of three distinct strands: Exploring Creative Practice, where we undertake performance work, is the largest strand and makes-up two-thirds of the degree. Critical Thinking explores the critical, cultural and social context for your practice. And Entrepreneurship develops your professional profile, portfolio and network. At the heart of the programme lies the Festival, where students work together across all three years to develop a season of performance work. Whether your interests lie onstage or backstage, you will find yourself working with a dedicated and expert staff team and you will have the opportunity to work on scripted performances as well as to devise and create your own original work.This programme is an exciting, practice-based degree that teaches you key skills in drama, movement, technical theatre and voice with an interdisciplinary focus. You will develop a portfolio of professional skills tailored to your chosen career path in the creative industries. Our course is designed for people who have a passion for creating performance, a curiosity for ideas, and a desire to discover creative ways of developing and funding projects, festivals and events.
