Actio
Join a 13-week programme which gives you the option to concentrate on study in your area of interest in acting.
Students typically join the undergraduate Acting cohort, but for those interested in both Acting and Musical Theatre, there is sometimes the option to study the Singing Skills module with the Musical Theatre department.
Each 13-week programme comprises 12 weeks of specialist tutoring, including individual sessions and group classes, as well as an additional ‘Welcome Week’.
Please note: A total 120 UK credits are allocated across a year of study. The equivalent of 40 UK credits are available to a Study Abroad student who successfully completes a term of study at the College.
During your time here
Acting students will benefit from a holistic training, through a range of skills classes, 1-2-1 tutorials and specific project work.
Skills classes include:
- Movement
- Voice
- Singing
- Stage combat
- Radio
- Contextual and professional studies to give context and background to many areas that are covered in practical classes
Projects include:
- Performing Classical Texts
- Acting for Screen
Both projects lead to a presentation of some of your work.
