Why study Drama?

The Honours program in Drama provides an understanding of the theatrical, and theoretical aspects of drama, from medieval street theatre, to the most recent Australian and European drama. The focus is on combining historical awareness with a framework for practical applications. The study of drama at honours level provides an enhanced context for understanding, analysing, and creating performance.

The main aims of the Honours year are:
  • To enable students with an adequate background in Drama to pursue further study in one specialist area in more depth than is possible with a pass degree.
  • To enhance students' capacity for independent research and to acquire research skills appropriate to their area of specialisation.
  • To train to a standard sufficient for enrolment in postgraduate research degrees, and for a specialist career. Achievement of first class or IIA honours allows direct entry to a PhD program.

What you can study

An Honours year in Drama will focus on developing and consolidating the knowledge and skills acquired during undergraduate study, with particular emphasis on utilising those skills in a sustained and purposeful way by conducting independent research.
Apart from content knowledge, employers and professionals value both the reliability and capacity for independent work, and the skill at writing substantial reports which are demonstrated by successful completion of Honours.

Please note that this field has a Semester 1 commencement only.
