Studying Drama and Film Studies at Sussex, you’ll develop these qualities along with the skills and curiosity to prepare for your career. Our graduates have gone on to work with organisations such as The Young Vic, Munich Kammerspiele, BBC3, the National Theatre and the British Film Institute.
Joining a warm and 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.
In Drama, you’ll gain skills across diverse theatre practices including:

- choreography, sound and visual design.
In Film Studies, you'll:
