Why choose this course
Our innovative Acting MFA trains future generations of internationally renowned performers and teachers.
Delivered by Guildford School of Acting (GSA), one of the most highly regarded theatre schools in the UK, this course will provide you with acclaimed actor training alongside a sterling reputation and excellent industry links.
This unique course is led by expert teachers with extensive first-hand experience in the professional theatre sector in both the UK and internationally.
We keep our cohorts small to ensure you get personal attention and contact from our expert teachers, who have extensive first-hand experience in professional theatre in the UK and internationally.
Our campus boasts great transport links to London, so you’ll benefit from GSA’s close proximity to the heart of UK theatre in London’s West End.
What you will study
Our innovative Acting MFA builds on the success of GSA’s current postgraduate course by extending the intensive training currently offered on our one-year Acting MA.
Our Acting MFA is highly selective and intensive. You’ll train over two years, taking classes in acting for stage and screen, voice, and movement, exploring a wide range of theatre traditions and performance styles in rehearsal projects and public productions, and participating in professional development events and masterclasses. The second year of the programme includes mentored opportunities for students to develop their own teaching practice and creative work. Your performance opportunities will include a short film project, a public production, and an industry digital showcase.
Careers and graduate prospects
We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.
GSA has an excellent reputation as a conservatoire, and graduates are sought for a variety of roles in the performing arts, as performers, creatives and as production staff. We consistently nurture students to become highly employable and resilient graduates, with a sophisticated toolkit of transferable skills. GSA offers careers advice throughout your study course and fully supports students with their first steps into the profession. We strive to ensure that our graduates develop the skills to help them enter the profession industry-ready.
A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree, or a recognised equivalent international qualification. Applicants who can demonstrate exceptional talent, and can satisfy the panel of their ability to successfully complete the course, may also be considered. Variations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
