It is your School Courses that provide the context in which you study your Major. We have a link with the University of Avignon, a town that hosts the most exciting theatre festival in France during June and July. How you learn Courses are taught by lectures, seminars, tutorials and workshops, and in the final year you undertake a group project under the guidance of a tutor. Lectures give background information to help a fuller understanding of the context of plays studied, and seminars are devoted to discussion of ideas, usually centred on the presentation by a student of a particular topic. During tutorials you discuss your work individually with the tutor.
Workshops have a more practical basis.
You are assessed by a combination of extended essays, examinations and project work. What you will achieve At the end of four years you will have acquired a broad appreciation of the development of theatre in Europe, and be able to express your ideas fluently in both English and French, German or Italian. You will learn how to interact sensitively and positively in small and large groups of people, and develop confidence in presenting your ideas in public. You will be able to analyse a variety of texts including plays, and structure your arguments in a clear and coherent fashion in both essays and project reports. You will also have learnt basic wordprocessing skills.
