Applicants for PhD via MPhil should have either a first-class or upper second-class honors degree from a UK Higher Education Institution or an overseas qualification rated as equivalent. We are also enthusiastic to hear from applicants who are advanced arts practitioners from across the theatre and creative industries despite not having the above formal degrees.

The Department of Theatre and Performance's research embraces a range of global theory and practice in theatre and performance including play-texts, physical practices and critical/cultural theory on which students can draw in their research.
