Drama BA Hons

The Drama degree at Greenwich is an innovative, practice-led programme based at the Bathway Theatre in Woolwich, a specialist facility equipped with six studios and a flexible auditorium. Instruction is provided by prominent academics and theatre practitioners, supported by extensive industry partnerships. This environment ensures that academic study is directly informed by professional standards and global networks.

The curriculum encompasses a broad range of modules, including devising, technical theatre, directing, and writing, with a strong focus on live performance and modern dramatic texts. Performance skills are refined through involvement in large-scale public productions, culminating in the creation of an independent theatre company during the final year to facilitate entry into the professional sector. Modules consistently integrate theory and practice, fostering expertise in performing, theatre-making, critical writing, and public speaking. Furthermore, engagement with applied drama, physical theatre, and contemporary performance allows for the presentation of work across diverse contexts and platforms.
