Our acting course goes beyond training, providing depth and context to everything that you study. Our degree will help you to become a self-reflective practitioner – an artist who can think, write and create their own work.

During this course you will undertake exciting and demanding training in professional acting. The main focus of this will include the practical skills, knowledge and experience you need to enter the acting industry.

In addition to acting, you will study:

• voice
• movement
• singing
• mask work
• accent/dialects
• acting through song
• audition technique
• acting for camera.

This will ensure that when you graduate you will have had the opportunity to perform within all styles of theatrical performance.

Your studies will help you to understand acting as an art, as well as to assess your own development as an artist.

You will be encouraged to critically assess the global influence of acting as an art form.

Throughout your course, including on your three major performance projects, you will be learning from leading practitioners, many of whom work actively within the profession.
