Drama and theatre studies combine elements of literary, cultural, historical and sociological studies with a practical understanding of the various performing arts. The strong developmental emphasis of courses requires a particular blend of both practical and academic skills, and this often results in a relatively high number of contact hours. Students are expected to have nothing less than total commitment to the subject. The aim is to explore the relationship between the theory and the practice of theatre, to discover how and why theatre works.
