How to Apply
The application process…
Entry to our Courses is via audition. Auditions take place regularly from late November to April for entry in September.
To start your application:-
Complete the online application form below.
Stage 1 | Self-tape Submission:- Our student recruitment team will be in touch to request self-tapes.
Stage 2 | In-person Audition:- If selected following your self tape submission, you will be invited to attend an in-person audition.
While we would rather than all potential students visit our building and meet some of the team, we realise that this is not always possible due to travel/distance etc, therefore we can also offer you a Video Audition too - just request this when applying.
