The Theatre, Acting & Performance and Screenwriting BA (Hons) at the University of Worcester invites you to explore the dynamic interplay between writing and performance, immersing you in the complete creative journey from initial concept to final production. This joint honours degree is designed for aspiring creatives who wish to develop a deep understanding of narrative, character, and dramatic structure across both stage and screen. You will cultivate your unique creative voice while exploring the diverse perspectives of others, gaining essential skills in scriptwriting, devising, and performance practices relevant to today's media landscape.
This full-time, three-year on-campus programme offers a practice-based approach, allowing you to translate theoretical knowledge into tangible skills through hands-on workshops and projects. You will engage with modules covering scriptwriting craft, story design, acting for stage and screen, and directing, with opportunities to specialise in areas like playwriting, musical theatre, or screen adaptation. Your final year culminates in a significant independent research project or a final performance piece, preparing you with a robust portfolio and the industry awareness needed for careers in theatre, film, television, and digital media.
