About Hausa/Theatre Arts

Hausa/Theatre Arts is an interdisciplinary programme that combines the study of Hausa language, literature, and cultural traditions with the practical and theoretical dimensions of dramatic performance. Students explore Hausa oral poetry, prose fiction, and linguistics alongside stagecraft, scriptwriting, directing, film production, and performance techniques rooted in both indigenous and contemporary theatrical traditions. The curriculum nurtures creative expression while deepening students' understanding of Northern Nigerian culture and artistic heritage. Graduates are well-positioned to pursue careers as professional actors, screenwriters, and directors in the thriving Kannywood film industry, broadcast presenters and content creators with media organisations, cultural officers with government ministries and agencies, and educators in secondary schools and tertiary institutions. The Society of Nigerian Theatre Artists remains a relevant professional association for graduates within this field.
