All applicants should possess the following essential qualities: Evidence of an enthusiastic and sustained interest in Drama. Good performance skills: vocal, physical and intellectual. Time management, as you will have to work to show deadlines on a regular basis. Flexibility: we often rehearse and perform in the evenings and at weekends. These qualities will be assessed through an interview and an audition after having initially been assessed from your UCAS application. Your initial UCAS application will inform our decision on whether to offer you an interview and audition, but will by no means wholly inform our decision on whether to offer you a place to study Drama or not. Therefore, any information that you can give on your UCAS form which allows us to get a sense of how well you manage your time, how engaged you are with external activities and how proactive you have been in seeking out interesting challenges (of all sorts!) and creative engagements would be very useful as they will inform the above-mentioned essential criteria. Drama Interview and Audition Criteria We always ask applicants to audition and interview with us. There are two practical audition requirements: the Solo audition and the Workshop audition. There is also a Seminar interview to assess academic skills. Here’s what we’ll be looking for: Solo Audition - we'll be looking for: Vocal presence: How well you deliver your piece and what light, shade and emphasis you sustain. Interpretation: How well you create the character, deliver the role and interpret the text and its meaning. Performance: How effectively you "hold" your audience. You should exhibit confidence, clarity and vitality. Workshop Audition - we'll be looking for: Ensemble skills: How well you work with other people in a group - are you co-operative and proactive? Creativity: What creative qualities did you bring to the group? Did you generate ideas and suggestions? Seminar Interview - we'll be looking for: Presence: How well you listened to others and made rational and supportive contributions. Critical ability: How well you knew your subject area. Academic potential: Do your grades or predictions marry with your performance when discussing Theatre Commitment: What evidence did you supply to show that you are keen to study at LJMU.

These students should demonstrate potential and motivation and/or have relevant experience. Shortlisted applicants will be required to attend an interview and audition. International Applicants: We welcome overseas applicants, who will be considered in line with normal entry requirements.
