We believe that theatre is more than an art form. It can make a difference to society, influence people and help to create change. We equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to be ground-breaking practitioners, and they go on to exciting careers within the creative and cultural industries.

Theatre for a changing world

We teach drama with a focus on experimental 20th and 21st-century theatre and performance. Through practical and theoretical investigation, you’ll gain knowledge of many modes of acting and theatre production.

The ability to choose from a wide range of modules – from Theatre for Social Change, Community Theatre and Visual Theatre to Performing Texts and Environmental Performance – makes this a really flexible degree.

Your degree is based in the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, and in this rich creative environment you can focus solely on theatre or take the opportunity to combine with modules in art, film or related subject areas.

You will be taught by professional theatre practitioners and top academics, and benefit from their links to leading creative and cultural organisations.

Our Creative Enterprise module allows you to work on a live project to deliver a creative arts initiative in the community. This kind of experience is great for your personal development and your CV.

 

Developing your professional skills is at the core of our course, and our drama graduates are highly sought after. The subject provides critical and creative skills that open up possibilities for working in theatre, but in many different sectors too.

Our graduates have gone on to pursue successful careers within the theatre as:

• Performers
• Directors
• Dramaturgs
• Writers
• Producers
• Technicians
• Administrators
• Theatre facilitators

A significant number of our graduates go on to set up their own theatre companies or small businesses. Others are working in television, film, digital media, community arts and drama, journalism, publishing, teaching and social work. They work for charities, NGOs and international organisations.

Many of our students take their exploration of drama to the next level by continuing with postgraduate studies.

Whatever option you choose, our Careers and Employability Service will be on hand to offer advice and guidance throughout your journey.

Lancaster University is dedicated to ensuring that you gain a highly reputable degree. We are also dedicated to ensuring that you graduate with relevant life and work-based skills. We are unique in that every student is eligible to participate in The Lancaster Award, which offers you the opportunity to complete activities such as work experience, employability/career development, campus community and social development.
