Research students in the Department of Drama study in one of the United Kingdom's leading centres for performance research. We welcome applications from graduate students who research in any of our areas of expertise.
Research students play an important part in Drama's collaborations with leading arts organisations, including the Barbican, Shakespeare's Globe, Gran Teatre del Liceu Barcelona, Actors' Touring Company, the London Film Festival, LIFT, and Afro Reggae.
We offer supervision across topics including, but by no means limited to:
Performance and the city
Site-specific performance and installation art
Space and place
Applied and socially engaged theatre and performance, especially in relation to young people, older people, prisons, Brazil, development, democracy and human rights
Theatre in Education
National, intercultural, and transnational performance, especially in relation to the UK, Europe (particularly Ireland, Spain, Italy), South Africa, Canada, USA, Latin America (particularly Argentina and Brazil), and New Zealand.
Typically, the minimum entry requirement is an UK upper second class honours degree (2:1). Some Schools/Institutes require a first class honours degree and/or a masters degree. If your qualifications are not from a UK university, Queen Mary also considers recognised equivalent qualifications from accredited overseas institutions and equivalent professional qualifications.
