About this program
The Drama Studies program at University College Dublin approaches theatre as a comprehensive medium, combining academic study with practical training. Students engage with cutting-edge work at various festivals and venues throughout Dublin, organized by the School. The program integrates performance analysis, theatre history investigation, and practice-based modules across three stages. In Stage One, students establish foundations in theatrical conventions and have options in physical theatre and Irish theatre history. Stage Two expands practical skills through modules in acting, playwriting, and contemporary performance, with continued theatre visits. Stage Three synthesizes prior learning through an original Performance Project (by audition only), independent research, and advanced engagement with performance studies and performance analysis beyond traditional theatre contexts.
