Course summary

Our intensive and practical course focuses on fundamental technical acting techniques, while putting you at the cutting edge of acting for screen and digital platforms.

You work with traditional and emerging technologies to create a diverse set of skills. These include TV, film, online, voice for audio (animation, ADR, immersive audio) and motion capture (including VR). You also develop off-camera skills as a writer, director and producer while collaborating with other students on productions as you compile a varied and well-rounded professional media portfolio.

The coursework element is focussed on your future career, your working environment and critical life skills. In your third year you undertake an optional practical or written research project. Again, career focussed and chosen by you.
