of Arts
Roehampton’s School of Arts was
created in 2020 by the amalgamation
of our former departments of Dance,
Drama and Media, Culture and Language.
As such, the new School offers an
unrivalled diversity of master’s courses
ranging from choreography to journalism
and screenwriting, taught by academics
at the cutting edge of their subjects.
For dance students our distinctive postgrad programmes offer new
angles on the study of dance within Europe’s leading centre for dance
research and with its own performance space, the Michaelis Theatre.
For drama students there’s a rich research culture including specialisms
in experimental and early modern theatre, spectatorship as a practice
and feminism and performance. Students and researchers also enjoy
the use of the department’s on-campus Jubilee Theatre.
This is a landmark year for Roehampton’s media-related courses
as we will be opening The Sir David Bell Building. It’s a brand new state
of the art media centre that houses a cinema, hi-tech editing and video
production suites, a Mac lab and newsroom plus stylish new teaching
and social spaces.
