Drama at Newman is a richly diverse programme with prepares students for using their drama knowledge and skills in a professional theatre environment and the wider community. The course has four main strands:

a Drama strand which traces the development of the art form from Greek Drama to Postmodern plays and develops students’ critical thinking;

a theatre performance element in which students take part in major performance productions that usually take place in professional venues such as the Midlands Arts Centre, The Crescent Theatre and The Blue Orange Theatre;

a strand devoted to applied performance in contexts such as education, in which students learn skills as community actors and artists-in-residence;

A work placement strand in year 2 in which all students have the opportunity to apply theory to practice, develop networks and clarify on career decisions. All students have the opportunity to conduct a final year dissertation and they can choose from three types: a traditional written dissertation, a practical performance-based dissertation and a work placement-based dissertation.
