Our aim is to produce confident and innovative facilitators and directors with the requisite knowledge and skills to work across the spectrum of contemporary community/applied drama practice. Placements are vital to the course - we have links with over 50 organisations including youth clubs, health agencies, penal institutions, schools and colleges, mental health organisations, disability groups, and social exclusion projects. Up to 26 places available on this programme each year
