Course Description
If you have a passion for theatre and would like to learn how to bring your ideas to life on stage, Brunel’s Theatre course will equip you with specialist skills in a range of performance genres. It will also ground you academically in history and theory, enabling you to become a well-rounded, adaptable artist and critical thinker.
Providing the perfect balance between theory and practice, you’ll be taught by industry and academic experts in our purpose-built Antonin Artaud Performance Centre.
The course has compulsory modules and numerous optional modules that you can choose from within the Theatre degree. You can opt for a wide selection of modules on the main Theatre degree or focus your studies through a specialised degree pathway in Acting, Musical Theatre or Physical Theatre.

You’ll learn in our Antonin Artaud Performance Centre which includes a main theatre and two studio theatres, in addition to a suite of rehearsal and recording studios.
