BA in Contemporary and Applied Theatre Studies
Not only does the BA CATS explore and open up academic strands associated with theatre such as politics, sociology, history and philosophy but there is a real practical element to the modules on offer. One unique advantage of this programme
is having a professional space
in the form of the Lime Tree Theatre on campus. This provides an invaluable hands-on learning approach to all technical aspects within theatre craft, while also exposing students
to the best stage productions that tour the country.
