3-Term Pathway - International Foundation Year in Social Sciences and Humanities - Continue to Bachelor of Arts - Fine Art and Film

This program will prepare students for entry to Year 1 of an undergraduate degree in a wide range of subjects, including many based at the £10m LICA building. Popular subjects include law, film studies, sociology, linguistics and politics.

Theatre is more than an art form. It can make a difference to society, influence people and help to create change. Students will be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to be ground-breaking practitioners, and they go on to exciting careers within the creative and cultural industries.

Theatre For a Changing World

Students are taught drama with a focus on experimental 20th and 21st-century theatre and performance. Through practical and theoretical investigation, they’ll gain knowledge of many modes of acting and theatre production.

The ability to choose from a wide range of modules – from Theatre for Social Change, Community Theatre and Visual Theatre to Performing Texts and Environmental Performance – makes this a really flexible degree.

The degree is based in the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, and in this rich creative environment students can focus solely on theatre or take the opportunity to combine with modules in art, film or related subject areas.

Students will be taught by professional theatre practitioners and top academics, and benefit from their links to leading creative and cultural organisations.

The Creative Enterprise module allows students to work on a live project to deliver a creative arts initiative in the community. This kind of experience is great for their personal development and CV.
