Live performance is still heralded today as delivering a uniquely experience to the spectator. In an age where technology plays an increasingly greater role in the entertainment industry, the experience of dramatic theatre is still unrivalled. The BA in Theatre provides an essential overview of theatre production processes in a modern context. It is ideal for students looking to pursue careers in the entertainment and live production industries.
In contemporary performance, the roles of actor, producer, performer, director and playwright have become interdependent and linked to the extent that all participants work collaboratively to produce the creativity and structure that enables theatre production. For this reason, students can expect to receive training in the basics of acting, directing and theatre production, as well as being given a theoretical background through their engagement in the structural analysis of dramatic literature (with an emphasis on plays).
Students can also explore technical elements relating to the production of drama, through modules which explore the methods, materials and equipment (costumes, light and sound technology, and construction of scenery) used in theatre. For those wanting to pursue diverse interests over the duration of this course, the course allows flexibility in modular options, with some taking a focus on musical theatre; theatre in different cultures; the history of theatre throughout the ages; modern dance and theatre; and other options. As a core aim, theatre students develop their acting skills to a mature and professional level, with emphasis given on essential components such as vocal training (voice control and projection), improvisation, physical expression and movement.

Zoologists undertaking research in universities usually specialise in one of the many branches of zoology. Zoologists study animal evolution, ecology, genetics, behaviour, development and physiology. They have detailed knowledge of subjects like cell biology and genetics, and their work is used to enable advances in areas such as medicine, environmental protection and conservation, agriculture and aquaculture, and marine biology. Work might include the development and testing of new drugs, improving agricultural crops and livestock, disease and pest control, conservation of endangered habitats and species, and animal welfare and education. Work for governmental agencies may include developing policies and enforcing regulations. While there are many of us who ‘like animals’ anyone considering studying Zoology, and building and career in the field after graduation, will need to be driven as much by a passion for Biology as they are for wildlife watching. Very much a science-based course, you will need to have a grasp of the methodical research practices, which lay behind a thorough understanding of the animal kingdom. You will also need to have an interest in conducting ‘hands on’, field-based research, as many courses will include an element of this type of study. Bearing that in mind, Zoology could provide the perfect fit for anyone who is fascinated by the physical world and has a particular interest in all creatures great and small. From the tiniest mammal to the biggest predator, each animal adds something unique to the complex systems that structure our world. Zoology is the ideal fit for anyone inspired by finding out exactly what.
Employers of zoologists include universities and government research institutions, the NHS and medical research establishments, water authorities, zoos and wildlife trusts, and environmental protection agencies with museums or other cultural organisations, or move into other jobs such as management, marketing, sales or scientific journalism.
