Course Description

As an English Literature, Theatre and Performance student at Bangor, you will develop your individual interests in aspects of literature, drama and theatre. You will explore a wide range of practice including devising, community theatre, acting skills and solo and group performance. This work is underpinned by the critical study of literature, and drama from a range of historical periods from the medieval to the contemporary. Modules combine the creative and performative with a critical grounding in major theatre.

As you progress, you can select modules that help you to maintain a wide-ranging approach, or you can specialise in specific subjects or literary forms. Either way, modules options in English Literature and Theatre and Performance are designed to complement each other, honing your skills in performance, writing, critical thinking, theorising, research analysis, and debate.
