As one of the oldest Drama departments in the UK, we’ve shaped the academic study of theatre and performance. At Hull, you not only learn about the theatre. You learn on the job, by making theatre.This is a place – and a University – with a strong commitment to the performing arts. Being a Drama student here means being a member of a thriving creative community.You join a close-knit group who performs, creates, communicates and engages with a variety of audiences. And you develop your talents in an area of drama you love. All while performing in world-class, Grade II-listed facilities.As well as exploring the theories behind performance, you learn on the job in ensemble settings and practical projects. We teach you how to be a well-balanced theatre maker, while you develop your talents in a specialism you love. Whether it's as a performer, designer, creative technician, producer, writer or teacher.You get exclusive access to our Gulbenkian Centre: a purpose-built theatre with studios and workshop areas. Every week, you get the chance to make theatre. From classical to experimental, by way of digital, educational and participatory performance. You also take part in at least two major productions each year. And you form a small theatre company in your final year.
