Embark on the BA Theatre and French at the University of Bristol, an undergraduate degree designed for students passionate about the intersection of performance and Francophone cultures. This program delves into the dynamic world of theatre, exploring its historical contexts, critical theories, and practical applications, while simultaneously cultivating your fluency and deep understanding of the French language and the diverse societies it represents. You will engage with challenging academic material and develop a nuanced perspective on how theatre and French culture influence each other, preparing you for a globally connected world.
This full-time, four-year degree is delivered on campus, offering a rich blend of lectures, seminars, workshops, and practical sessions. You will immerse yourself in French language and cultural studies, alongside core theatre units covering areas like performance histories and devising. A significant highlight is your compulsory year abroad in a French-speaking country, providing invaluable linguistic and cultural immersion. Upon your return, you will undertake a substantial independent project, whether a dissertation, performance, or practice-as-research piece, culminating in a graduate profile ready for careers in the arts, international relations, education, or further academic study.
