About the Foundation Degrees

The Northbrook College Theatre Department, working closely with industry partners, has developed and established an exciting and innovative range of theatre courses - Foundation Degrees in Theatre Arts. These incorporate excellent subject specific practical training with the academic rigour needed to study at Degree level. The courses are designed to work in partnership at all levels, reflecting a model identical to the workplace - large, medium and small scale, independent or company based. This is supported by the excellence of the facilities and the high level of professional input to the programmes. Lecturers include Alister O'Loughlin of Prodigal Theatre Co., Keith Benson of Glyndebourne Opera, Claire Raftery of Periplum, Freelance costumier Charlie Hanrahan, RSC actor & Hollyoaks director Damien Goodwin and TV & Film stylist Rupert Simon, to name but a few of the excellent contributors. All courses offer work experience as an integral part of their programme of study. Students who successfully complete the Foundation Degree have the opportunity to progress to the BA (Hons) Theatre Arts, specialising in their chosen discipline within the framework of collaborative integrated practice.

"I genuinely think you have a very exciting set of courses within the department, with few parallels to be found in the UK."

"The quality of the courses was totally endorsed by the QAA Academic Review which found that the Teaching & Learning, Student Progression and Learning Resources all to be Commendable - this highest possible grading."
