THEATRE FACULTY OF ARTS Teatre
The first UK university to offer a drama degree, Bristol has alumni including renowned playwrights, actors and directors.
Why study Theatre at Bristol? Theatre and performance studies at Bristol are characterised by the way we blend historical and theoretical study with practice-based investigations. You will study historical contexts, consider critical perspectives and engage in practice-based activities, using our two in- house theatres for your presentations. Facilities include the professionally equipped Wickham Theatre, 24-hour rehearsal space, sound and design studios and a costume workshop. There are opportunities to engage with professional theatre-makers and our museum-accredited archive, the Theatre Collection.
