Artistic imagination, professional versatility and creative confidence are vital in today’s cultural industries. Studying Drama and English at Sussex, you’ll develop these qualities along with the skills to prepare for your career.
Joining our welcoming, inclusive creative community, you’ll experience the world of professional practice through our close ties to Brighton’s vibrant arts scene. You’ll broaden your horizon as an artist and thinker by combining collaborative artistic production with a strong humanities education, ready to challenge ideas and make your voice heard.
In Drama, you’ll gain skills across diverse theatre practices including:
- staging plays, collaborative devising, acting and writing for performance
- experimental forms including live art and site-specific theatre
- choreography, sound and visual design.
In English, you’ll explore texts from diverse cultures, genres and periods. You’ll connect your own writing to era-defining challenges such as AI, climate change and global conflicts.
Opportunities for placements with local cultural organisations will help you grow as a resourceful and versatile communicator able to write with skill for a wide range of audiences.
This industry-facing degree is taught in a range of arts facilities, including the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (ACCA). At ACCA, you’ll encounter a world-class public programme of theatre, dance, music, literature and film.
