Level 3A levelsGCE A level2 yearsFull time

What the college says

A strong sense of commitment to team work and individual development is required and a keen interest in the process of theatre and drama is essential. Drama & Theatre Studies is unusual in that it combines academic and practical skills. It is therefore vital that students enjoy both the practical challenge of brining a play text to life and the application of research and analytical skills required to complete written homework, coursework and examinations. Students should have a keen interest in theatre history and styles and social, moral and political issues which will be explored. They should also enjoy working as part of a team, as all practical work requires extensive group collaboration.

We would ask that students achieve a grade 6 at Drama GCSE or, if they have not taken GCSE Drama, grades 6 for English and English Literature.

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
