If you don’t quite make the grades you hoped to, we’ll look at more than your qualifications when making our final decision. We’ll take into consideration any barriers you may have faced in your learning, especially with potential disruption due to the coronavirus, your achievements in other areas and your personal statement.

Additional entry requirements
Interview
Applicants will normally be invited to attend an interview day of moving, thinking, making and playing in our exciting theatre facilities on our Hendon campus. You'll get to work with our staff and current students, meet other applicants, and together we'll create a piece of theatre and showcase it at the end of the day. Interview days are a unique opportunity for you to experience what it’s like to be a member of the Theatre community at Middlesex University. If you have a particular interest in design and visual theatre, you're welcome to bring along a portfolio or sketch-book. If you cannot attend an interview day, please submit a self-tape (video). This will either be a recording of you performing an extract from a theatre text of your choice (approx. 2-3 mins) that should demonstrate your ability to perform a memorised script and make clear performance choices, or be a recording of you telling us about a production you’ve worked on or seen and what role you took (or would love to take one day) and why (max. 5-mins).
