Interested in Shakespeare? This Open Day is your opportunity to learn more about our postgraduate opportunities at the Shakespeare Institute and attend one of our Thursday seminars with the new Artistic Directors from the Royal Shakespeare Company.

The University of Birmingham's Shakespeare Institute is opening its doors to invite prospective postgraduate students to learn more about our range of innovative study opportunities. There will also be the opportunity to hear about our exciting collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company and how that will impact your studies at the University of Birmingham.

This event will be held both in-person at the Shakespeare Institute and online via Zoom. It is for prospective postgraduate students interested in developing or advancing careers in creative or academic fields in relation to the study of Shakespeare. It will give you a taster of postgraduate study with The Shakespeare Institute and give you a chance to hear first-hand what it is like to study in Stratford-upon-Avon.

We have a range of postgraduate courses at the Shakespeare Institute. These include:
