BA in Contemporary & Applied Theatre Studies (International)

About

The BA in Contemporary and Applied Theatre Studies is an innovative four year, full-time honours degree in drama and theatre studies but can be shortened to three years in the case of some international applicants. Launched in 2015, it is the first programme of its type in Ireland and gives students a round and broadly-based education in drama and theatre, and a specific set of skills in the contemporary and applied aspects of the field. It deals with all the general areas of drama, such as ensemble performance, the study of plays, theatre visits and studio practice. Students will have the opportunity to develop their own artistic skills and specialise in their own particular areas of interest. The programme will give participants a diverse, sophisticated and vocational experience.

Students from abroad can gain broad knowledge and specific skills in the area of drama and theatre studies on this programme.
