Core modules will develop your understanding of development studies, theatre and performance in the community. YouÕll even get to complete a placement delivering workshops in a community setting such as a school or prison. In addition, youÕll choose from optional modules offered by our School of Politics and International Studies (POLIS), allowing you to specialise in aspects of development studies that suit your interests or career plans.

YouÕll be taught by leading researchers and experienced theatre practitioners in state-of-the-art facilities, but youÕll also get out of the classroom and into the community. ItÕs a great opportunity to prepare for a career in development and the arts, in the UK or elsewhere.

Career opportunities

The Theatre and Global Development degree from the University of Leeds will equip you with a wide range of knowledge and skills that are valuable in a range of roles within and beyond the development and theatre spheres. YouÕll gain practical skills in areas such as workshop planning and delivery as well as an understanding of theory and practice in development studies and theatre, and even advanced skills in research, communication and analysis that are attractive to employers.

Graduates have an excellent track record in finding employment with community arts and development organisations in the UK and worldwide. YouÕll gain the skills to launch a career in fields such as community and development theatre facilitation, project leadership and management, theatre making, administration and education among many others.
