The programme, established in 1992, is the first degree-conferring programme in Theatre Studies in Singapore. Its theoretical and practical modules seek to:
- develop a comprehensive understanding of theatre practices in different forms and cultures, and of important critical approaches to the study of theatre;
- provide students with practical experience of the theatre in operation both as a framework to theoretical understanding and as a means of developing relevant performance and production skills; and
- train students in undertaking research in the field of theatre studies.
