Drama & Theatre Studies is an exciting choice at A Level and can lead to further study in drama as well as many other subjects. The course is good preparation for students who would like to pursue a career in the arts, but it also helps develop competencies that are valuable to both universities and employers alike. The course develops practical, creative and communication skills in equal measure as students take part in drama productions and theatre visits as well as analysing and writing about plays, theatre practitioners and critiquing productions.
GCSE Drama is desirable, but we do not insist on it. More important, is that students have an open and inquiring mind, literary skills, genuine interest and/or broader experience of theatre, a willingness to work collaboratively and a creative instinct for communicating ideas through the medium of drama.
