We currently have 10 full- time members of staff, employ a range of subject specialists and have an average undergraduate intake of 40 students a year. Our staff-student ratio is outstanding. Our new studio facilities at Millburn House offer the best possible environment to support creative practice.
Our research in theatre and performance is classed as internationally significant and we are consistently ranked in national newspapers as one of the very top departments in the UK. Our options and core courses are taught by acknowledged experts in their fields, with particular areas of interest in theatre and performance history and historiography; national and intercultural theatres and performance evolving from the city, public events and experiments with new technologies. We benefit from a wealth of theatrical activity within easy reach of the campus. In particular, the University is home to the Warwick Arts Centre, which includes two theatres and offers an exciting programme of theatre, dance, music, comedy, literature, films and visual art. |
