Level 4 is a period of developing core skills and techniques.

There’s an opportunity to analyse and research a wide range of styles in our theatre laboratory.

The period ends with a performance project that gives the opportunity to apply all the skills developed during the level.

Level 5 continues to develop and advance the core skills and begins to apply and contextualise them into an all rounded performance. Students will be introduced to new writing and developing their own work as well as building skills and competencies necessary for career resilience and professional development for the future work context.  

Level 6 is about bringing the skills and techniques together in two productions that give you the opportunity to work with a director and a professional production team. The Creative Industries module focuses on the necessary skills to make the transition to the world of work including the preparation of a final showcase. In addition, you will work on an independent project that can focus on any aspect of the degree and showcase your individual talents.
