What the college says

If you are curious about issues and ideas and have a creative instinct for communicating your views, then Drama is the ideal subject for you. You may be keen on acting, writing or on the visual and technical side of theatre and wish to develop your skills in some or all of these areas. Equally you will be interested in going to the theatre to see plays performed by different theatre companies. Drama A Level will appeal to students who are committed to broadening their experience of live theatre appreciation and text study.

What you need to get on

To study A Level courses, students need to achieve at least five Grade 6s as a basic entry level. A Grade 5 at Drama GCSE is desirable and a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English is essential. An active interest in performing and an enthusiasm for theatre and developing your skills is required. All applications will be considered on an individual basis, and we reserve the right to make an exception in exceptional cases.
