Our dynamic arts community is made up of students, graduates, academics, professional practitioners, and a team of technical specialists, so you are in the ideal environment to explore and develop your own distinctive style and creativity.
At Kent we challenge the distinction between practical and theoretical study, which means that many of our modules include both written and performed assessments. We offer a broad range of options which enable you to shape your degree around your own areas of interest.
First-year modules develop your key skills and core knowledge, and introduce you to a wide range of theatre practices. In your second year you choose four modules from a range covering areas such as acting, physical theatre, popular performance, Shakespeare's theatre, musical theatre dance, theatre and adaptation, gender and performance, and disability and the arts.
In your final year you choose three modules from a selection, covering areas such as acting Shakespeare, physical theatre, stand-up comedy, participatory and community arts, verbatim and documentary theatre, and theatre and ideas. You then either take a module in which you produce an original production in small companies, or you complete an independent written project.
Do you have a passion for Film or Literature? We have three joint-honours options available: BA (Hons) Drama and Comparative Literature, BA (Hons) Drama and English Literature or BA (Hons) Drama and Film.
- Matt Hoss, graduate and professional stand-up comedian
- Eva Tritschler, current Drama student
