Theatre and Film Studies Courses in Nigeria

95 Courses Under Theatre and Film Studies Degree

On this article, I am going to list out some Theatre and Film Studies course outlines in Nigeria Universities which you will study before you can to become a graduate of Theatre and Film Studies. Normally, a course outline should contain; course name, course description, course hours etc… but I am going to skip that information and go straight to Theatre and Film Studies subjects for university students.

I will only list out the course names excluding  GST Courses and those courses with part II and III to avoid too much information. There is no guarantee that the listed Theatre and Film Studies subjects (courses) will be fully covered in your school because universities in Nigeria does not use a uniform curriculum.
