What this course is about
UCAS code: Q44Y
Here's what Queen Mary University of London says about its English and Theatre with a Year Abroad course.
Are you interested in the fusion of literature, performance and culture?
Our BA joint honours English and Theatre programme is an exciting opportunity to study the practice of theatre and performance, and the reading of texts from a broad spectrum of genres and periods. It combines practical and theoretical study in a wide range of interconnected areas, providing you with a variety of approaches to drama and literary studies as active and dynamic subjects.
Along with an understanding of how approaches to Theatre and English complement one another, you will be encouraged to locate texts and performances in their political, cultural, and historical contexts. You'll also develop your communication and research skills, and skills in working collaboratively.
Our staff – leading academics and artists – will work with you to make learning challenging and engaging, and help you to develop as an informed critic, reader and performance maker.
