Course summary

Our Acting degree is an industry focused course which prepares students to work in theatre, TV and film, and will put you on track for a successful career on stage and screen. This course is ideal for aspiring actors who are interested in developing their practical performance skills alongside theory, research and critical thinking. You will work with a specialist team of highly experienced lecturers with a wealth of industry experience. There are a range of exciting module choices, and you are encouraged to develop your employability and graduate skills throughout the course. You will work closely with directors and practitioners who specialise in a range of areas, developing productions each year of the degree, alongside studying many other practical and theoretical aspects of performance. The staff team currently includes experienced directors and producers for both stage and screen, applied theatre practitioners, and experts in actor training and physical theatre. The Department has excellent links with the professional industry, locally, nationally and internationally, and boasts impressive facilities, including fully equipped rehearsal and performance studios. Students thrive in our vibrant, close-knit and supportive community of performers and practitioners working in the excellent facilities at Creative Campus. Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.
