Course content

This course extends a great opportunity for trainee directors. Working in the heart of the festival city of Edinburgh, you will have time to work with actors on all years of our BA Acting & English and BA Acting for Stage & Screen courses.

You'll work on contemporary and classic texts and alongside trainee playwrights to create new work.

With dedicated industry-recognised mentors providing support throughout your training time, you’ll be studying in one of the most culturally-vibrant cities in the world.

The two-year duration gives you time to deeply develop your skills and creativity and to network and build relationships with actors and writers who can make an impact on your career after you graduate.

Typical entry point to this course is in September. Please enquire for more information.
