Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
Research here takes place in a lively environment where advanced thinking, laboratory-style exploration and cutting-edge practice all go hand-in-hand. Central is also committed to enhancing students’ professional development as future academics in the field, and has a teaching assistant scheme that will give the opportunity to learn the skills required for teaching. Our culture is one of enquiry, innovation and experiment, where staff and students alike are engaged with new and pioneering ideas and practices, and seek to understand these within a wider field of performance and cultural production. A student’s eventual PhD submission may be a single and sustained written thesis, or it may feature practice-based presentation(s) alongside a written thesis.
