With our own theatre and links to professional practitioners in Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon, London and beyond, our undergraduate Drama and Theatre Arts degree course at the University of Birmingham combines theory and practice. Whether your interest lies in Elizabethan drama, live art, British playwrights or theatre for young audiences, you will have the opportunity to experience a variety of drama and theatre before specialising in your favourite areas. During your time at the University of Birmingham, we will help you develop into a confident researcher and performer and to build a diverse and attractive professional profile. You will study alongside our staff, many of whom continue to practise in the creative industries, collaborating with professional artists from large-scale operas to site specific performances in caravans and igloos! There are also opportunities for student placements with the BBC Drama Village, which is based at our Selly Oak campus. **Top 5 in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021** **Top 5 in The Complete University Guide 2022** **Why study this course?** **Get a head start in the graduate market** - We share a campus with the BBC Drama Village, so you could get a sneak peak of them filming Doctors and take advantage of their exciting placement opportunities.

Our Selly Oak Campus provides everything you need to study, rehearse and perform in a professional setting and get the most out of your degree. **Personalise your course to suit your interests and career path** - We’re not just about reading from a script; take advantage of the wide-ranging expertise within our academic community and delve into the study of devising, directing, stage technologies, design, stage management, site-specific theatre, dance theatre, theatre for young audiences, music as performance and gamification. **Engage with an active student and staff population** – with DTALiT, the Department’s own creative community and a wide variety of Drama societies, including everything from our own TV station- Guild Television, to musical theatre groups and societies who take their work to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, you’re sure to find something you want to get involved with. **Live in a city that values theatre as much as you do** – whether you fancy a large production from a big establishment such as the Birmingham Hippodrome or something smaller in a quirky venue such as The Old Joint Stock, spend your days exploring Birmingham’s exciting theatre scene and take in the numerous city-wide theatre festivals such as BE Festival and Fierce Festival.
