Program details

Overview

The HND in Acting prepares aspiring performers for stage, screen, television and digital platforms. Early study covers established approaches to performance, alongside voice, movement, script analysis and character development. Students also consider the social and professional contexts in which performance takes place. Learning is practical and project-driven. The first year ends with a creative project in which students perform a scripted or devised piece, while the second year centres on a larger professional project, for example a play or a short film. Students also prepare for working life through auditions, self-taped work, showreels and the business of acting, and learn to adapt performance to different formats. Graduates can move into acting work across stage and screen, including voice-over performance, or continue their studies on a one-year top-up degree.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Holders of a Level 4 qualification in Acting may be eligible to enter directly into Year 2.
