It provides an alternative route for those unable to meet the traditional entry requirements for a three-year degree. It will prepare you for your degree studies in a supportive and stimulating learning environment.

You will work with professional theatre companies such as Big Brum Theatre in Education Company, and receive specialist training from professionals with particular expertise. Our performance facilities ensure students devise, rehearse and perform in an appropriate environment.
