Overview
The MA Screen Acting course offers students consolidated, bespoke, and advanced training for actors with existing experience in acting and/or performance. You will learn to deliver strong performances within a demanding and competitive industry, taking advantage of industry advancements to explore new technology alongside traditional forms of production.
Alongside craft skills and understanding, you will create your own professional profile, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurialism as you take the next steps in your career, including sessions on fundraising, personal finance, and more.
