Theatre & Performance
Theatre and Performance offers a four-year undergraduate professional degree. The degree combines a focused, discipline-specific foundation in areas of specialisation with a flexible, interdisciplinary programme to enhance student innovation and experimentation and preparation for the world of work or further study.
Our mission is to introduce a range of conceptual and creative vocabularies and practices. We value students who enjoy intellectual adventure and the complex challenges and rewards posed by indigenous and globally established systems of knowledge and practice. We strongly encourage critical debate, independent enquiry and active citizenship through understanding as well as challenging established conventions and practices.
