If you have a passion for theatre and would like to learn how to bring your ideas to life on stage, Brunel’s Theatre course will equip you with specialist skills in a range of performance genres. It will also ground you academically in history and theory, enabling you to become a well-rounded, adaptable artist and critical thinker.
Providing the perfect balance between theory and practice, you’ll be taught by industry and academic experts in our purpose-built Antonin Artaud Performance Centre.
The course has compulsory modules and numerous optional modules that you can choose from within the Theatre degree. You can opt for a wide selection of modules on the main Theatre degree or focus your studies through a specialised degree pathway in Acting, Musical Theatre or Physical Theatre.
You will be supported by a personal tutor who is also your academic seminar tutor and you will be taught by staff who are cutting edge academics and industry specialists. You’ll learn in our Antonin Artaud Performance Centre which includes a main theatre and two studio theatres, in addition to a suite of rehearsal and recording studios.
As we’re close to central London, we regularly organise trips to see productions at places such as the Barbican, the National Theatre, the Royal Court, and Sadler’s Wells and participate in workshops with ground-breaking theatre companies all as part of your course.
