BA in Drama and Performance Practice
University of Gloucestershire — Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
About this program
The University of Gloucestershire is a public university offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across two main campuses in the county of Gloucestershire, England. Performing arts are based at the purpose-built Performing Arts Center at the Oxstalls campus in Gloucester, which includes large harlequin sprung-floor dance studios with full lighting rigs and sound, an acoustically designed music and singing room, a drama studio, and a multimedia suite. The university partners closely with Cheltenham's Everyman Theatre and Playhouse Theatre, Gloucester's King's Theatre, the Motionhouse Dance Company, Frantic Assembly, Strike a Light Festival, and Cheltenham Festivals, giving students direct access to professional venues and practitioners throughout their studies. The drama, dance, and cinematics courses are ranked in the top 20 in the UK for graduate prospects (Complete University Guide). 95% of graduates are in work or further study within 15 months of graduating (Graduate Outcomes survey). The university uniquely offers ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing) awards alongside its dance and performing arts degrees — the only UK university to do so. Performing arts lecturers are working industry professionals with RSC, Royal National Theatre, BBC, and film credentials. UK home tuition: approximately £9,535/year (; confirm at glos.ac.uk). UCAS code: G50. All performing arts courses require an audition/interview. UCAS equal consideration deadline: approximately late January.
