Theatre and Performance Studies and Global Sustainable Development with Integrated International Foundation Programme Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (with Honours) - BASc (Hon)

This integrated four-year route combines Year 0 of the International Foundation Programme with Warwick's degree in Theatre and Performance Studies and Global Sustainable Development. The International Foundation Programme develops a strong foundation in the ideas, cultures, and creative expressions that have shaped societies across time. You will develop both the theoretical understanding and analytical skills needed to study the arts and humanities at university level.

Throughout the course, you will strengthen your critical thinking, research, and communication abilities while exploring how art, literature, philosophy, and culture reflect and influence the world around us. You will also learn to interpret diverse sources, construct persuasive arguments, and engage with complex social and historical debates. Alongside subject-specific knowledge, you will build the academic and collaborative skills essential for success in higher education and beyond. By the end of this first year, students will have developed the academic foundations and be well prepared to progress Year 1 of BASc Theatre and Performance Studies and Global Sustainable Development.

On the BASc Theatre and Performance Studies and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) degree you will apply your passion for Theatre to answering the pressing questions of our time by studying the subject in combination with GSD.

Theatre has the power to question and challenge ideas and beliefs. It helps people consider the way they live their lives and how their actions affect others. It brings into sharp focus our impact upon the world and how we might effect changes for the better. On this course you will explore the radical and revolutionary artistic power of theatre and entertainment, linking this to today’s global challenges.

Warwick's vibrant student drama scene also gives you opportunities to get involved with many kinds of production through our theatre student societies, with projects at Warwick Arts Centre (a core partner of the Theatre and Performance Studies Department), the National Student Drama Festival, and the Edinburgh Festival.

By studying GSD, you will take a transdisciplinary approach and confront issues from a diverse array of perspectives. You will need to be ready to think creatively and embrace new opinions from your peers from across the world. We will challenge you to become an active participant in your own learning.

You can enhance your skills and studies through optional work placements, study abroad, and certificates.
