NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology)

In the bachelor's programme in Drama and Theatre studies students will study these expressions as means of communication and experiential objects, their past and present roles in society and culture, and how they shape and disseminate meaning.

The object of study and research are therefore identified within the theatre as institution, as well as in other cultural contexts such as schools, leisure time activities and social work in western and non-western contexts.

The drama and theatre study at NTNU has a practical-theoretical approach to the discipline. The course of study has an historical and a contemporary basis, and important sources are dramatic texts, performances and productions, as well as practical experiences from the artistic, pedagogical, ritual and therapeutic fields.
