Drama studies are designed to prepare a student for the varied concepts surrounding theatre and performance. A student may study diction, dialects, accents and physical performance techniques. Other focus areas include dramatic art history, playwriting, production, direction and film studies.
Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
