If you love going to the theater and if you have always thought that you would write a play to be carried over at the Royal Theatre, then it is the way to choose the training Theatre Studies.

Theatre Studies is a theoretical training, focusing on theater as a form of artistic expression. The theater is traditionally used as a forum where social satire, comedy, tragedy and other phenomena have been disseminated to an audience. If you choose to read Theatre Studies, and you will be working extensively with the elements that are an indispensable part of the theater as an art institution. It can be set design, staging of the show, setting up a play, dramaturgy, the light and aural effects which are included, as well as all the social and historical relations that affect the theater as an art form.

You learn to hone your creative profile, so you can work with the theater in new ways and create different relationships between, for example. actors and audience. The approach to the Theatre Studies is primarily theoretical, so you learn not to become an actor or receive direct instruction from committing themselves on a stage. It's more about the scientific approach to the theater you learn.

- Theatre History, which includes the development of the performance of the theater since the origin in Greece more than 2000 years ago to the present, but with a predominant focus on the last 150 years of theater that is more theater influenced the style as we know it today.
