Welcome to the new website of the Theatre Studies Department!
The Department of Theatre Studies is distinctive in that it aims to educate its students in the art of theatre both theoretically and practically, thereby providing them not only with academic and theoretical knowledge but also with all the necessary practical skills so that they may choose to pursue a scholarly or an artistic career. In addition, the Programme of Studies covers the history of theatre and drama as well as contemporary issues and debates in the areas of the theatre and the performing arts.
The Department is located at the historic city of Nafplion, within easy reach of Athens. Nafplion is a vibrant and culturally dynamic seaside city, which is very close to the archaeological sites of Mycenae, Epidaurus, Argos and Tiryns, and which hosts a series of arts events and festivals all year round.
The accreditation of the Department of Theatre Studies of the University of the Peloponnese was carried out in 2019 by a Panel of External Reviewers appointed by the Hellenic Quality Assurance and Accreditation Agency. The Department was accredited and found to be FULLY COMPLIANT with the quality criteria of other academic units in the same academic field internationally.
