Course content

This Master's degree provides rigorous, world-class conservatoire acting training combined with industry-level postgraduate project work.

The course is open to those from any background, but especially for those who want to shake up the ecosystem of the creative skills industry, and use their abilities to challenge the status quo and shape new landscapes for dramatic art.

​​​​Across your two years of training, you’ll be working mainly in small-group classes and will receive frequent, personalised feedback and support to advance your skill-set and accelerate your career.

You’ll develop an informed, open, yet questioning, approach to the craft of acting. This will set you up with the skills and confidence to become an independent minded practitioner with considerable professional versatility and creativity.

Course highlights:

• Experience rigorous training in small groups covering: Advanced Acting, Screen & Audio, Music, Movement & Voice.
• Perform in productions throughout the year and industry-invited acting showcases.
• Create a short film with a professional film and post-production crew.
• Graduate with a professionally shot showreel and voice reel.
• Adapt and perform in Shakespeare's works for secondary schools.
