Course summary
BA Drama with Acting at Royal Holloway gives you the chance to step onto the stage or in front of the camera and learn the craft of acting, alongside also gaining a solid foundation in the study of Drama in general. You'll explore the art of performance through dedicated actor training, as well as analysing key texts, so that the text and the body, the thinking and the doing, work together as one. By moving between the practical and the theoretical, you'll find your place as an informed actor, and by studying a variety of practices, by yourself and with others, you'll get knowledge of the industry as a whole, and learn how your interests could fit into the bigger picture. You’ll also get the chance to work alongside our MA Theatre Directing students, collaborating with them on their projects to bring ideas to life, as well as developing your performing arts industry networks. We are top-rated for teaching and research, with a campus community recognised for its creativity. Our staff cover a huge range of theatre and performance studies, but we're particularly strong in contemporary British theatre, international and intercultural performance, theatre history, dance and physical theatre, and contemporary performance practices. You'll be taught in incredible performance spaces you won't find anywhere else, each perfectly enhancing our teaching and research strengths.
- Enjoy a unique blend of academic Drama with actor training
- Work collaboratively with MA Directing students and share experiences together
- Flexibility in years 2 and 3 of your course to suit your passions
- Three performance-based final year projects
