Drama and Film Studies

About this course

Drama and film studies together offer a rich and interconnected view of how storytelling works across live performance and the moving image. Drama examines theatre as a live art form with its own history, theory and practice, exploring how plays and performance create meaning through space, body, voice and the live encounter between performers and audience. Film studies examines cinema as a cultural, artistic and industrial phenomenon, analysing how films work aesthetically and technically and what they mean within their social, political and historical contexts. Studied together at the University of Sussex, they train you to think rigorously about representation, narrative and the conditions in which stories are told. This programme, which includes a foundation year and a sandwich year, develops your analytical skills in both disciplines alongside practical engagement with performance
