Course Overview
- NEXT INTAKE:
- MODE OF DELIVERY:
This programme offers a broad overview of the field, demonstrating the many ways in which English and Drama Studies form a basis for a spectrum of critical thinking and cultural analysis. The programme also entails the study of specific literary and theatrical areas. Students taking this specialism will refine, develop and/or acquire skills in close reading and critical analysis, improve and enhance oral and written expression, and emerge with an expanded sense of imaginative and cultural possibility.
Who is the programme designed for?
The Diploma programme may be of particular interest, but not exclusively so, to first and second level teachers and others interested in the contribution of English and Drama to education, local studies, heritage studies and tourism.
