What the college says

Aimed at those interested in starting out their studies in Performing Arts. The course gives you the opportunity to explore creative skills through practical projects and specialist workshops. Alongside your new practical skills, you will develop your organisational, communication and written skills in areas that interest you. It’s ideal for progression on to Level 2 programmes in acting, dance, musical theatre or theatre production. Please check your current/predicted grades against the Entry Requirements below. If you are mostly getting grade 3's and 4's at GCSE you probably should be applying for our Level 2 programme. If you are getting grades 4 and above at GCSE you should be looking at the Level 3 programmes.

What you need to get on

Two GCSEs at grade 2, however, if you are unsure if you can meet these requirements we’d still love to hear from you. For all performance based courses your offer will be based on academic grades and a practical audition. The structure of the audition differs depending on your area of study. You will be given plenty of notice of the audition requirements when you book a date and will be supported throughout by our team.

How you are assessed

Entry level and Level 1 study, English and maths retakes, and supported programmes.
