Liverpool Hope University’s creative community is internationally renowned and world-leading in drama research and practice. Students will develop their acting skills, their ability to facilitate drama sessions, as well as improving their critical writing skills. The university makes use of the many theatre venues in Liverpool, from the traditional Everyman/Playhouse to the experimental Tate Liverpool as well as their own Capstone Theatre, several well-equipped studio theatre spaces dedicated for student use, and their very own Hope Theatre Company – of which students could play a part.
Film and Visual Culture is an intellectually stimulating degree that combines practice and theory, giving students the opportunity to both create and analyze a range of cultural texts - from fiction film and documentary, to photography and animation.
This degree is underpinned by creative and critical practice. It is creative because it gives students the opportunity to develop practical skills in the fields of screenwriting, filmmaking (drama and documentary), photography and animation. It is critical because it involves the in-depth study of film history and theory, including the way in which cinema intersects with a range of social and political issues. Students will graduate with a degree underpinned by academic rigor, but with the transferable skills needed to pursue a wide variety of careers in the creative industries.
