Performance (Acting)

This three-year degree develops technical acting skills for students who want to work across theatre, television, film and recorded media. Teaching combines classes, projects, workshops and performance opportunities, encouraging students to take creative risks while widening their range and developing their own voice. Students train in small groups and receive substantial hands-on teaching every week. The academic year is organised into terms, and the programme is validated by the University of East Anglia. Students work on performance projects alongside skills training, building practical experience throughout the three years of study. Applicants are selected at audition, and formal academic results do not decide entry, though some earlier qualifications are looked on favourably. Graduates are prepared for professional acting careers across the sectors the course serves.
