Screen Acting

Entry requirements

A good honours degree (2.1 or above), with experience in acting and performing.

If you have a 2:2 or your degree is not aligned to acting or performance, we would want to see a portfolio / showreel or links to examples of your acting roles.

Suitably qualified candidates will be invited to an interview, before a decision is made about their application. When you attend for interview you must bring with you a 300-500 word piece of critical writing on an area of media or performance that interests you.

You will also be asked to prepare a 3 to 4-minute audition monologue. This should be taken from a published script and should fit your casting in the area of screen performance, taking into consideration playing age.
