Course summary

Why Lancaster?

  • Study cutting-edge contemporary theatre and discover how you can make a real difference in society through performance
  • Benefit from our close relationship with leading creative and cultural organisations such as Lancaster Arts, the Dukes Theatre and leading professional theatre companies
  • Graduate from a top university with a CV packed with practical experience
  • Perform in group-devised projects each year, leading up to our final degree show
  • Learn in a department with 100% student satisfaction for two years running in the National Student Survey (2021 and 2022)
  • We believe that theatre is more than an art form. It can make a difference to society, influence people and help to create change. We equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to be ground-breaking practitioners, and they go on to exciting careers within the creative and cultural industries.
Theatre for a changing world We teach drama with a focus on experimental 20th and 21st-century theatre and performance. Through practical and theoretical investigation, you’ll gain knowledge of many modes of acting and theatre production. The ability to choose from a wide range of modules – from Theatre for Social Change, Community Theatre and Visual Theatre to Performing Texts and Environmental Performance – makes this a really flexible degree. Your degree is based in the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, and in this rich creative environment you can focus solely on theatre or take the opportunity to combine with modules in art, film or related subject areas. You will be taught by professional theatre practitioners and top academics, and benefit from their links to leading creative and cultural organisations. Our Creative Enterprise module allows you to work on a live project to deliver a creative arts initiative in the community. This kind of experience is great for your personal development and your CV.
