Additional fee information
There may be travel costs related to work placements. A reading list will be supplied which students will be expected to purchase. Students must come to classes in practical movement clothing (details to be supplied on successful application). There may be occasional additional costs for students to experience bespoke industry workshops/masterclasses and to travel to access valuable opportunities.
In the second year of study, when preparing to enter the industry as a professional actor, students will create a showreel and headshots and join Equity and Spotlight as student members. These expenses will be met by students and will cost approximately £500 altogether. We strongly recommend that students begin to save for these expenses at the start of their studies or even before to lessen the financial burden incurred at the eventual time when payment is required.
An upfront payment of £30 is required upon enrolment of each year of the course, to cover theatre tickets. This will cover 6 performances at York Theatre Royal, saving students significant money over the year.
Due to the nature of this course, there may be some additional costs which students will be expected to pay at various stages throughout the duration of the course, although we make every effort to keep these to a minimum. This may include the opportunity to travel abroad.
