Areas of study include: • TV Acting • Theatre Acting • Scriptwriting • Radio Drama • Stand-up Comedy • Video Drama Direction
How will I learn? Teaching is delivered through a combination of practical workshops and seminars, lectures, one-to-one tutorials and masterclasses.
Students are required to be increasingly responsible for their own learning as they progress, thus preparing them for the industry. An important part of learning in this programme is to make the most of opportunities for extra-curricular activities organised by the programme team. These currently include the opportunity to audition for the graduating students’ Performers Showcase which takes place before an audience of agents and casting directors and opportunities to attend masterclasses with visiting leading professionals.
