About Our Acting BA Course
Our Acting BA course is a three-year, full-time vocational course for students aged 18 and over, who want to become professional actors. Our course involves a variety of stage, screen and audio training, in both live and recorded settings. The course is validated by the University of Chichester, and as with all uni courses, full government funding is available through student finance, for home students.

Our courses are competitive and so we do have some entry requirements. You can see a general guide to these requirements below:

About The Audition
Applying to our Acting BA involves an audition. After you’ve completed the application process, you’ll be invited to submit an audition tape.
