What the college says

This qualification emphasises practical creativity alongside research and theoretical understanding. Each exam paper is designed to allow students to demonstrate their creativity and imagination in interpreting set texts and apply independent thinking as they evaluate a live theatre production. There is also a great focus on student performance, with 60% attributed to the practical units. Students learn through experience: seeing theatre, reading texts and making theatre for themselves. Students will gain many invaluable skills, both theatrical, technical and transferable, to expand their horizons.
