UCC Department of Theatre and Film Studies
Welcome to the official webpage of the Department of Theatre and Film Studies. We take pride in being the liveliest department in the entire university because, as the Dean of this Faculty once said, it is the humanities that bring out our humanity and distinguish us from other species. And what better way to express that humanity than through the performing arts. In this department, we do not only show people what makes them human, but we also inform them on their best life-style choices, empower them to make the best possible decisions, and yet at the same time we entertain them and offer them therapeutic relief from their often stressful academic lives.
This page contains information about our programmes, courses, activities, community outreach, collaborations, our faculty and their research activities, and how we have fun. You are welcome to browse through and discover the very interesting engagements of our department. If you are a prospective student, you will acquire information about the programmes we offer, the requirements for entry, and the courses you will be reading to build a solid foundation for a professional life in the future. You can learn from the success stories of our alumni and be inspired.
Take some time and read our Departmental Brochure to be informed about the courses we run, and other academic and extra curricula activities within the department. You are welcome to enjoy our department newsletter, Stage and Screen Review, which offers analyses and discussions about theatre and film events particularly at the University of Cape Coast, but also throughout the country.
You may also read the abstracts of papers published in our departmental journal Kalibi- Journal of Media and Performance Aesthetics, and then order copies for your reading pleasure.
As a visitor to our page, you will also find out how you can be a part of our academic, outreach and social activities and how you can support our growth.
