Student Profile(s)

Sonna Cadman

I have a vocational background, coming from actor training at drama school, and I specifically sought researcher training in drama at Masters level in order to prepare for doctoral study. The University of Exeter offers a unique course which, for this reason alone (initially) identified Exeter as my only choice for postgraduate study; I applied with the support of my head of acting from drama school, who, after examining the course structure and individual modules I would take, agreed it was the most appropriate place to offer me the researcher training I desired.

The best thing about being a postgraduate at Exeter, for me, is that I am on the only course that could offer me exactly what I sought from a Masters in preparation for doctoral study, in an exceptional faculty, surrounded by creative practice and creative research. I have the privilege of learning from brilliant, generous, passionate and supportive lecturers, who are also responsible for building such an exceptional department.
