Course summary

Our vocational conservatoire actor training course is designed to provide you with skills to become a successful independent professional actor for stage, screen, and recorded media. Our approach focuses on you as an individual, providing the support and training enabling you to find your unique voice as an actor. Through this course students develop the creative and intellectual independence of an artist able to sustain a lifelong career and shape the industry of the future. Alongside core disciplines of voice, movement and acting techniques, you will engage with new technologies such as motion capture, with opportunities to perform on the new extended reality stage in our purpose-built centre for Digital Production, giving you a range of creative and transferable skills fit for the 21st century. Learning happens in our world-leading training facilities, including high quality rehearsal, movement and performance spaces, our fully equipped Rose and Barn theatres and flexible studio spaces. Throughout the course you have multiple opportunities to perform. In your final year you undertake full scale performances in our on-campus theatres, and you’ll also perform as part of our London Season in a professional theatre. You’ll take part in an industry showcase in a London theatre from where our students regularly sign with agents. Our graduates work internationally and in the UK, undertaking roles in renowned West End shows as well as at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. Increasingly our graduates also go straight into film and television careers. “During my audition, staff spoke about creating ‘little bits of magic in rooms in Sidcup’. That’s why I chose Rose Bruford. To become a part of an epic, creative community where everyone is invested, creating little, and increasingly large, moments of magic.” Florian, Acting student You may also be interested in: Actor Musicianship BA (Hons) European Theatre Arts BA (Hons) American Theatre Arts BA (Hons)
