The one year integrated course in Acting & Musical Theatre has been devised for post graduates and mature students who wish to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Realistically it takes a national drama school three years to produce a professional actor with the required creative skills and practical techniques required by the profession. This is a course designed for those people who cannot justify three years training.

The course is extremely hard work. However it is possible to give a dedicated and enthusiastic post graduate/mature student sound and realistic training during one year, which will greatly increase their chances of working within the profession.

It is described as an integrated course because of its structure.

First Term All classes with the first year students.

Second Term A mixture of first and second year classes, and a public performance of a post-grad play.

Third Term A mixture of second and third year classes. If the required standard is reached you will be offered a place in the West End Showcase.

To find out more details of what each year entails please refer back to the 3yr course and the relevent subjects.

Within this structure it is possible to sample a large range of the three year course work, without the time commitment. It is also possible, as many one year students do, to convert to the three year course after Christmas, if you should decide that the one year course is not long enough. This will obviously result in an adjustment of the fees in order to correspond with the three year costs.
