Focusing on intensive practical exploration of the techniques required for performing in a number of different contexts, you will receive vocational-standard training in the skills needed to work on your own and with companies. The course also equips you with the transferable and entrepreneurship skills you will need to work as a professional actor, performance maker, workshop leader, animateur and development worker. You will enjoy specialist workshops, master-classes, act within a range of community and mainstream contexts, and benefit from a professional working relationship with a regional theatre.

We value real-world experience to prepare you for life beyond university, which is why we’ve forged connections with thousands of companies locally, nationally and internationally. Through our placements, you can gain that all-important practical experience whilst you complete your course. From volunteering, internships and placements, through to a fee free year in industry, we offer a whole host of opportunities to enhance your employability.
