THFM-2801 prerequisites

Taking THFM-2801 is a prerequisite for 8 courses directly, and opens 9 once their own follow-ons are counted.

Where THFM-2801 counts

Required by 5 programs:

  • THFM 3-YEAR BA IN THEATRE AND FILM (PRODUCTION)

  • THFM BA HONOURS IN THEATRE AND FILM (THEATRE-MAKING)
  • THFM BA HONOURS IN THEATRE AND FILM (PRODUCTION)
  • THFM BA HONOURS IN THEATRE AND FILM (STAGE MANAGEMENT)

Counts toward 1 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • THFM 3-YEAR BA IN THEATRE AND FILM (THEATRE-MAKING)

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
