    Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, we bring Shakespeare to life.

    At the Shakespeare Institute, you’ll enjoy a unique learning experience led by world-renowned Shakespearean experts. Explore, study and create when you join our close-knit postgraduate community. From Shakespeare’s language and drama to contribution to literary and theatrical history to how his works have been used in the classroom – you’ll gain new insights and perspectives. Our collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) nurtures innovative theatre and learning and opens all kinds of opportunities. These include the chance to work on the premises with RSC artists.
