Bachelor of Arts - Drama and Media (Honours)

BA (Hons) Drama and Media joins theatre practice to media study and production: performance and devising alongside media theory, digital platforms and practical content creation across screen and audio formats.

The pairing recognises where performance now happens — as much on screen and online as on stage — and equips graduates to perform, produce and understand media contexts, a combination suited to the content economy’s demand for presentable, articulate makers.

Practical modules produce both staged and recorded work, giving students a portfolio spanning live and mediated performance, and This course records five entry opportunities, September and January alike, across the listed cycles.

This pairing suits a recognisable contemporary profile: students comfortable performing to camera as well as to a room, who want to make content rather than wait to be cast. The commercial demand for that capability is real and growing, since organisations of every kind now produce video, and people who can present, direct and produce competently are genuinely scarce. Students should build a showreel across both live and recorded work throughout the degree, because employers in content roles ask to see performance rather than take it on trust, and the course’s media facilities make producing that material straightforward. Voice work deserves particular attention, since audiobook, game and commercial narration markets are expanding and reward trained performers who can self-record to professional standard.

Destinations include content production, presenting, media roles and facilitation at £19,000–£24,000. Graduates hold Graduate Route permission for 18 months under the post-2026 settlement, with dependants not admitted alongside taught undergraduate study.
