COURSE OVERVIEW

Develop your acting skills to a professional standard, while exploring English literature, and gain a deep understanding of the relationship between text and performance. This course allows you to develop your acting skills while studying English literature, giving you a firm knowledge base from which to work in either field. Acting classes cover acting for both stage and screen, and will include substantial workshop performances as well as public productions in the final year, including the opportunity to present your own fully supported show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

English is studied from the early 19th century to the present day providing a modern, interdisciplinary approach to literature. You’ll develop an appreciation of different genres and explore the value of literature in the modern world. Practical acting projects will often work alongside the English texts you are studying. You will read, analyse and perform texts of a similar era at the same time, thereby deepening your understanding of both literature and acting. Our programme is not a drama/theatre studies course – we aim to train actors to vocational standard over four years.  Along with intensive classes and workshops in acting, you will study alongside the BA (Hons) English degree students in a variety of classes that cover subjects from Shakespeare to Romantic poetry to modern drama. 



How You’ll Be Taught
Your learning experience will consist primarily of practical, workshop-based classes, tutorials, and seminars with visiting professionals.


Assessments
The majority of your assessments will be practical and performance-based, all of which will be underpinned by research and analytical course work.
