The bachelor’s course in Theatre is a broadly-based education. It encompasses various aspects of the theatre, from the artistic concept to practical realisation and the theoretical approaches. Students develop the most important skills for their own theatre work. At the same time they are able to apply active criticism to the aesthetic, qualitative and methodological aspects of the theatre.

In addition to acquiring acting skills, project work forms an important part of the course. It promotes insights into all stages of a theatrical production, develops competences in project management and – supplemented by interaction with contemporary and historical theatre practice and theory – builds the foundations for independent activity in the theatrical world.  The syllabus covers the areas of body, voice, production, theory and media. It is concluded with a practical project.

In the bachelor’s course, students develop an individual professional profile, making this the basis of their specialisation in the subsequent master’s programme.

Professional prospects for theatre artists are many and various, but competition is fierce. A Bachelor of Arts in Theatre gives graduates the basic competences for work in the German-speaking theatre or in radio, film or television. In addition, their timetable also features the independent development and implementation of projects. 

Possible employment avenues are:

• Actor in the spoken-word theatre
• Work in professional independent theatre productions
• Film and television actor
• Radio announcer, voiceover artist, audio book actor
• Related areas in the coaching area, etc.
