Drama with Creative Writing with Year Abroad BA (Hons)

Interested in what’s on stage and screen? But also want an insight into the process of writing? Combining drama and creative writing is the perfect way to explore both and find your place in this exciting industry. We’ll introduce you to a variety of cultures and historical periods while teaching you different writing techniques used to engage audiences. <br/><br/>There’s more to studying drama than being a skilled performer – it’s about being a skilled writer, researcher and collaborator too. You’ll be challenged to make discoveries using a mixture of practice and theory. At the same time, you’ll grow as a writer and develop your style, supported by academics who have published memoirs, essays, poetry, and much more. <br/><br/>**Unleash your creativity** <br/><br/>When you’re not putting pen to paper, you’ll be in our studio theatres and rehearsal rooms. This is where your ideas will come to life, with support from our technical team. <br/><br/>From free theatre tickets to top employers and internship opportunities, London is a great place to start writing your success story. We work with companies like Clean Break who were recently at the National Theatre. <br/><br/>Our graduates arent just performers, actors and writers – they are communications managers, marketing executives, PR professionals and teachers.
