Drama with Creative Writing with Year Abroad (Hons) Queen Mary University of London

Overview

The Drama with Creative Writing with Year Abroad (Hons) programme from Queen Mary University of London capitalises on London’s outstanding theatre and performance resources and, particularly, Drama's links with a variety of theatre and other cultural organisations including Artangel, Barbican, Live Art Development Agency, National Theatre, People’s Palace Projects, Project Phakama, Shakespeare’s Globe, and more.  It also draws on London's rich writing, publishing and media cultures.  

Key Features 

• These links often bring artists, writers, administrators, managers and other professionals into the programme as guest speakers, workshop leaders and performers. 

• They also facilitate students' participation in the wider cultural sector, and will form the basis for the further development of work-specific learning opportunities.

Careers

• Theatre and related arts organisations, publishing, digital media, communications, print journalism, and the broadcast media are all popular choices for Drama and Creative Writing students who want to use their communication skills. Others use their ability to think and write critically and persuasively to go into public relations, marketing, and advertising, including in the charity sector.

• Graduates are highly experienced in working collaboratively, which makes them especially suited to diverse work environments that depend on collaboration and project delivery.

• In addition, many of our graduates embark upon professional careers in education, the third sector, law and teaching, whilst every year the Department sees a number of students progress to take higher degrees, both at Queen Mary and elsewhere.
