As a student on the BA (Hons) Drama with Foundation Year at Liverpool John Moores University you will have extensive opportunities to develop your creative and performance skills using our dedicated drama centre and newly refurbished drama studio, and also through our links with leading theatre companies and drama organisations in Liverpool and beyond.

For millennia, groups of people from all corners of the earth and from all cultures have got together to watch other people act out stories. Performing drama takes us to places through characters so far from ourselves that it helps us learn about ourselves and what makes us tick.

There are few better places to study drama than Liverpool, a city with many theatres and a rich tradition of producing some of the country’s best-known playwrights. Thanks for LJMU’s links with many local drama organisations and TV companies, you will have a wide choice of work placement opportunities open to you, as well as being able to collaborate on some creative projects.

With a degree in Drama you could be destined for a career as an actor, director or stage manager in theatre or related arts organisation. The broad skills you develop on the degree could also enable you to move into areas such as arts administration, television production, the law, museum and gallery work, journalism, freelance writing and criticism as well as teaching.
