Program details

Overview

This four-year Acting route begins with a foundation year that introduces the disciplines of performance before the degree starts. It prepares students for the practical training that follows. Once the degree begins, students train in acting, voice and movement for screen and learn audio, lighting, filming and projection techniques. Students also study script writing and improvisation for screen, and they use theory to inform their practice. Graduates can pursue careers in theatre, film, television and digital performance, or continue to postgraduate study in acting and performance.
