The whole world's might be a stage, but Europe is arguably the biggest and brightest one for Drama and Dance. Studying in Europe is an excellent opportunity for performing arts majors, and students can take inspiration from Shakespeare and attend plays at the National Theatre in London, or head to Ireland and use George Bernard Shaw’s 'Pygmalion' as a playwriting muse. Ranked in the Top three in the University guide 2016: league table for drama & dance, the Royal Welsh College is a powerhouse of innovation and collaboration across performing arts. The University of Sussex is also well known and was the first of the new wave of UK universities founded in the 1960s; whilst the University of Surrey has a equally strong international reputation and its drama, dance and cinematics programmes are ranked in the top 3 in the Complete University Guide 2016.
