The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham

Based in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, the Shakespeare Institute aims to bring Shakespeare to life through our innovative campus-based and online postgraduate degrees.

Shakespeare Institute students benefit from our exciting collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) which allows students to study and create theatre in Shakespeare’s own daring spirit, as well as benefit from the expertise of RSC artists and practitioners through innovative modules, workshops and projects in subjects such as directing, playwriting, lighting and design.

The Institute offers an environment in which students are encouraged to be creative, bringing Shakespeare to life in new ways across the world.
