The accelerated nature of the course is designed to engage participants who have studied drama previously but have not had opportunity to immerse themselves in practical, vocational training.

Applications are reviewed and offers will be made on a rolling basis until 31 January 2024. We would therefore advise you to submit your application as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
