Drama and English Literature with International Study, BA

This innovative BA in Drama and English Literature enables you to study in the USA for a year as part of your degree, fostering skills for success in global careers within the creative and performing arts or literary fields. Taught by world-leading academics and theatre practitioners, the UK-based elements split your time between the Bathway Theatre in Woolwich—a facility with six studios and a flexible space—and the Greenwich Maritime campus. The curriculum includes studying literature, visual narratives, fiction, and poetry, with opportunities to hone performance skills through large-scale productions and form your own theatre company in the final year.Key features include an embedded study abroad year at a US partner institution, combining theory and practice in modules on performing, theatre-making, critical writing, and public speaking. English literature components examine historical, social, and cultural contexts of texts, including drama and fiction. If you prefer a three-year option without the abroad year, consider our standard BA in Drama and English Literature.
