Overview
The Theatre and Performance Studies programme Studies at the University of Warwick takes pride in its national and international reputation for research and teaching excellence.
As a student, you will be taught by world-leading scholars, industry professionals and artists who are as passionate about the power of theatre and performance as you are.
