Course summary

Overview At UEA, we believe everyone should have the chance to study at degree level. You might not yet have the required grades. You may need a little extra support. You may need time to decide where your interests lie. If so, then our BA Drama with a Foundation Year is the perfect choice. Our Humanities Foundation Year is an intensive and exciting year of study. You’ll focus on the topics which interest you and create a toolkit of essential academic skills. We’ll support you to work towards your own learning goals in an encouraging, rewarding environment. You'll study with dedicated lecturers from UEA’s Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities. In addition to Drama, you’ll explore a wide range of adjacent academic subjects, including English Literature, History, Philosophy, Film, Media, History of Art and Politics. We’ll help you make connections between different disciplines to spark your curiosity. You’ll have access to many exciting opportunities and resources as you pursue your passion for drama. You’ll familiarise yourself with working in a professional drama studio, and you can also join our well-respected student-run Minotaur Theare Company, and enjoy Norwich’s vibrant arts scene, right on your doorstep. You’ll develop a toolkit of essential academic and practical drama-based skills. As you develop your own academic interests, you’ll then be well-placed to progress to the degree that’s best for you. After successfully completing your foundation year, you can move onto the BA Drama degree, or request to transfer to another undergraduate course within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, subject to taking the required prerequisite modules. Use the foundation year to springboard onto the degree of your choice and take control of your future studies. Disclaimer Course details are subject to change.
