Course summary
Study in the USA for a year as part of your degree and develop, over the course’s four-years, the skills needed for success as a global professional in the Creative and Performing Arts. Drama at Greenwich is an innovative and practice-led course where, on the UK-delivered elements of the course, you’ll learn and work out of the Bathway Theatre in Woolwich - a specialist facility with six studios and a flexible auditorium. At Greenwich, you'll be taught by world-leading academics and theatre practitioners and we have great partnerships with organisations working in the creative industries at local, national and international level. Take part in a range of modules from devising to technical theatre, directing and writing.

You’ll also get the chance on this course to study - in your third year - for a year in the USA, enhancing your global profile. What you should know about this course
