Overview
This can be studied full time for one year or part time over two years.
The courses taught at RADA are designed to deepen and extend an awareness of drama and plays in performance and encourage the students' own creative practice.
The Basics
Teaching sessions for the course will run Monday to Thursday evenings inclusive and on Friday afternoons.
In the spring term the students are asked to focus their learning at RADA through a writing and/or a directing pathway.

The training covers:
- Study of texts in their cultural context.
- Practical classes in performance skills and text analysis.
- Lectures, seminars and workshops
- Scene-study workshops with professional directors and classes with specialist skills tutors held at RADA.
- Writing and Directing classes.
