Throughout the three years, students are introduced to the main acting genres and given a range of approaches to acting. In addition to vocal and movement skills, students learn how to create characterisation. Although we will want to see students develop as creative individuals, they will also learn to be part of an ensemble.

Whilst the training is essentially practical, it is important that an actor learns how to intellectually engage with the text and become an informed actor. To this end, Cultural and Performance Studies engage students with cultural and historical backgrounds and explore a range from textual analysis to performance art.

In addition to an experienced staff, students work with other industry professionals in masterclasses and workshops to extend their range of approaches to self, text and audience.

With a programme which has been endorsed by the industry, students are choosing to study on a degree which is committed to their future employment, which will let them work closely with other would-be developing professionals and which will give them the skills needed for their future in the industry.
