Drama

Drama Education is a creative and challenging area of the curriculum which attracts a lot of pupils in schools. It centres on Creative Drama and Theatre Arts, is very much based on a “learning by doing” philosophy and it encompasses specific areas such as:

  • Improvisation
  • Textual studies
  • Theatre Practitioners
  • Acting and Directing
  • Role Play
  • Mime and Movement
  •  Devised Drama
  • Theatre Arts skills

Graduates wishing to enter Drama Education should ideally have a breadth of experience covering both Drama and Theatre Arts.

Although it is not possible to specify a definitive list of suitable degrees, the following types of degree are a sound preparation:

  • Theatre Arts
  • Dramatic Studies
  • Dance and Drama
  • Performance Arts
  • Community Drama
  • English and Drama
as

 It is also very useful to have worked with children or young people in an educational context.

If you think your degree might be suitable please get in touch. If your degree content lacks one of the key areas you may be able to do some top-up courses before embarking on the PGDE Programme.
