Assessment

The course is assessed entirely by coursework, therefore you need to have good time management skills and be able to work to targets and deadlines.

Where does this Lead

Most students go on to do a degree or foundation degree, at a University or Drama School. Students from the course have gone on to many different Universities and Drama schools, and a significant number of ex-students are now working successfully in TV, film and theatre.

Other students have formed their own acting companies. Some students remain at college to complete the Foundation Degree in Performing Arts (Drama). While some students progress onto courses in the performing arts, students do also go on to degree courses in a wide range of other areas where artistic understanding and communication skills are important including Hospitality and Events Management , Tourism and Nursing.

Visits to theatres will be organised during your course and you are encouraged to see as much live performance as possible.

You will need to wear appropriate clothes when attending college as you will be taking part in practical sessions where this is essential. You will be given guidance as to suitable clothing and footwear at the beginning of your course. The wearing of jewellery is also not advisable because of the physical nature of the work.
