The famous American actor and teacher, Sanford Meisner, defined acting as ‘living truthfully under imaginary circumstances’. This three-year, full-time undergraduate course will prepare you to apply this philosophy appropriately in a variety of different media environments, exploring the commonalities and differences in – for example – acting for drama on-screen, presenting to camera, and performing in other settings.


Why Take the Course?

- Practical: Each semester will combine three module types: an Acting Skills Module; a Screen and Industry Skills Module; and a Portfolio Module. This structure aims to support the development of your career ambitions while learning both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ skills. - Comprehensive: This course is founded on the premise that to succeed as an actor, performer, or presenter, you need to understand the basics of film and content production. It has been designed with industry professionals to reflect the real business of acting for screen in its many traditional and emerging forms. - Industry-facing: Learn from industry professionals, with members of the teaching team holding individual memberships in a variety of leading external organisations such as BAFTA, BFI, and the WGGB (Writers Guild of Great Britain)*. - Real-life Experience: Build a range of work, from self-tapes and group projects, to becoming comfortable with the flexible and dynamic world of the creative industries. *For a selection of the tutors who teach across our campuses, please visit our website.


Please note: BA Acting for Screen is Subject to Validation. From 2025/26, this course will be validated by BIMM University.
