Your future

Studying Drama will equip you with valuable skills for graduate-level work in a great range of sectors. Alongside your performance skills, you will learn to critically engage with the social, historical and cultural contexts surrounding theatre. Through studio-based work, you will become a highly capable communicator, who will be able to adapt to individual and teamwork scenarios.

You will also develop a range of professional transferable skills in time management, team-working, accurate note taking, research and IT. In addition, you’ll gain valuable critical, analytical and communication skills.

The services offered by the Humanities careers and employability team are complimentary to the services offered by our central Career Zone, where you can participate in practical sessions to develop your skills; access paid internships and volunteering opportunities; explore postgraduate study options; meet prospective employers; get one-to-one advice and learn how to secure the right job for you.
