Location of University of Birmingham
The Department of Drama and Theatre Arts benefits from Birmingham's exceptional resources for theatre research, as well as the University's links with world-class theatre in Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon, London and beyond. It aims to provide a dynamic environment in which students, scholars and theatre practitioners can work together to achieve a new breadth and depth in the study of drama.
Another development of our challenging and intellectually open research environment is to offer a taught postgraduate programme that includes a dissertation that aims to provide a broad foundation in drama and theatre studies.
The programme has a particular emphasis on the investigation of performance as a historical, cultural and political practice, and a special interest in enabling students to engage with theatre in its wider social context.
Contents
Students take six modules of taught Performance coursework (120 credits) followed by a 10,000-word dissertation on a topic of their choice (60 credits). Depending on the programme followed, students take a combination of required and optional modules of taught coursework. Sample modules include:
* Performance
* Theory and Culture
* Historicising Performance
* Theatre and Modernisation
* Theatre and Subjectivity
It is expected that many students from this programme will see it as a preparation to continue their studies with us at research (MPhil or PhD) level, and this MA will give them the necessary skills, support and confidence to allow them to do so.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
