selection of audition pieces to choose from (or you can choose your

advantageous in giving you a sense of what’s involved, we are more
interested in raw talent and welcome your application even if you
have had little or no experience.
assessment.
The course is a practical one. There is some written assignment work
but much of the evidence is filmed and evaluation is conducted
through filmed interview. We describe the course as consisting of
80% practical and 20% written work. There are no examinations. You
are assessed continually through an assignment for each unit. On
successful completion of the course, you will be awarded an overall
Distinction*, Distinction, Merit or Pass grade.
TYPICAL OFFER.
You will need to be on track to get at least five GCSE grades 4-9
including Maths and English or BTEC Level 2 Diplomas (at Merit or
Distinction). In exceptional cases we can take students who don’t
have GCSE English or Maths at grade 4 or above and we can provide
tuition in those qualifications alongside the course.
course costs.
The programme is fully funded for students ages 16-18 at the start
of their course. Students will be eligible to apply for a discretionary
bursary. Auditions are also free of charge but students will be expected
to contribute to the cost of theatre trips by way of a £120 a year trips
charge, which pays for around 10 trips.
