Commencing in 2019/20 the BA (Hons) (Theatre and Performative Practices) will replace the BA (Hons) (Drama and Theatre Studies) degree. This will be implemented on a phased basis starting with First Years in 2019/20. Students who entered First Year in 2019/20 will register for the BA (Hons) Theatre and Performative Practices degree.

No student may register for Second Arts (Drama and Theatre Studies) until he/she has passed the First University Examination in Arts (Drama and Theatre Studies). The selection of any module is conditional on the Professor or Lecturer concerned and the College being satisfied that a student is capable of profiting by attendance thereat. Students may not select modules which involve a timetable clash.

Joint Honours Drama and Theatre Studies: Students take 30 credits of Drama and Theatre Studies and take the remaining credits (to total 60 each year) in one other subject continued from First Year. Note: Students taking Drama and Theatre Studies with Music combine 30 credits of Drama and Theatre Studies with 30 credits of Music modules, as taken by Second Year students on the Arts-Music (CK104) programme (see here).

Single Honours Drama and Theatre Studies: 50 credit subject: a limited number of places (Minimum 6) will be offered to students wishing to register for 50 credits in Final Year in 2020/21.

Along with 50 credits in Drama and Theatre Studies, Single Honours students take the remaining credits (to total 10 each year) in one other subject continued from First Year.

Assessment for DR3001 will be based on satisfactory completion of the internship and on a presentation and portfolio of documentation completed during the first Semester of Third Year (see module description for further details). Students will be responsible for arranging the internship, in consultation with academic staff and for any/all costs incurred arising from the Practical Internship/Work Placement.
