This course for entrants from college draws on QMU’s highly respected teaching expertise within the performing arts. The rich and varied curriculum will provide a distinctive actor training in the conservatoire tradition.

The course gives you the skills necessary to work as an actor, on stage or on screen. You can also apply these skills to a wide range of other roles in the performing arts. This could include playwriting, community outreach and drama in education. On this course you can select from a range of optional modules that complement your training as an actor and will enhance your future opportunities.

The course is an articulation route for students who have already achieved an HND in Acting and Performance/Musical Theatre, have completed two years of an appropriate degree or have a good level of performance experience.
