About Drama and English, BA (Hons) - at University of Roehampton

This BA Drama and English will allow you to study varied and interesting modules informed by academics from two outstanding departments at Roehampton. These two subject areas overlap in many ways, and this exciting programme will allow you to tailor your degree by choosing from a range of modules from both disciplines.

We will use the rich resources available in the capital to inform teaching and your course includes tickets to a range of theatre productions, as well as trips to exhibitions and other cultural events. You will visit some of London’s most well-known theatres, seeing a variety of high-profile shows, thought-provoking plays and cutting-edge performance events. The ‘London in Literature’ includes a field trip to the City of London, during which we will explore locations associated with Charles Dickens and with T.S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land.

You’ll take specialised modules, such as ‘Themes/Moments/Authors’, focusing specifically on the important relationship between Drama and English. This programme also offers an interweaving of possibilities for third-year study including Drama’s Playwriting and ECW’s Contemporary Literature. This will enable you to gain practical performance and problem-solving skills, to develop your creative and academic writing practice. You could also choose to complete a work placement to build upon the skills and knowledge gained during the course.

You'll be taught by world-class researchers and writers and be able to meet renowned authors and performance makers at extra lectures and masterclasses, which have previously included our Chancellor, Dame Jacqueline Wilson, Kazuo Ishiguro, Anthony Horowitz, Emma Donoghue, as well as alumnus Matt Henry, Rachel John and Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu.
