Film Production and Theatre BA (Hons) at Brunel University of London

In addition to your theatre coursework, you will have the opportunity to make short films whilst studying on a range of modules that focus on how screen media have been variously theorised. You will have the flexibility to map your own route through the programme by combining theory and practice modules in a way that work best for you, and this joint degree can be as hands-on as you make it! On the theatre side of the programme, you will explore a wide variety of specialisms ranging from acting, applied drama, theatre making, musical theatre, physical theatre and playwriting.
