Course content

Theatre making at Hull has a strong reputation and a unique history. We’re one of the oldest university drama department in the country, and the city has a long tradition of producing exciting grassroots and professional arts groups.

Thanks to the broad range of our staff expertise, this practical, community-focused programme is challenging, varied and at the forefront of research into theatre, place and space.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in making theatre in a range of settings, including schools, youth groups and care homes, and for a variety of audiences. You’ll also have opportunities to learn how to set up and run your own theatre company.

The relationship between the theory and practice of theatre making is at the heart of the programme. This enables you to develop as creative and reflective theatre artist.

Our students love working in a close-knit, friendly drama community with excellent dedicated facilities and unrivalled access to theatre and rehearsal space. This includes the Gulbenkian Centre, a Grade II-listed working theatre, which was designed by the late theatre architect Peter Moro.

You’ll also benefit from our links with local arts organisations, such as Hull Truck Theatre, nationally-renowned companies, including the New Diorama Theatre in London, and graduate theatre companies such as Middle Child, Silent Uproar and the Roaring Girls.
