As you progress through our Acting Foundation Degree programme, you’ll train to a high level of technical ability. You will study multiple aspects of acting including Shakespearean theatre, naturalism, postmodernism, circus, and clowning. You’ll also explore contemporary acting such as virtual reality (VR), computer generated imagery (CGI), television and radio speaking.

Alongside improving your core disciplines of voice, movement, and acting, you’ll improve your creative and transferable skills, becoming an independent thinker and motivated and reflective artist. You’ll become physically and vocally flexible, ready to emerge into the industry.

Our programme is based in the heart of the Cultural Quarter in Leeds, so you’ll be surrounded by local practitioners at organisations such as Leeds Playhouse, Northern Ballet, Phoenix Dance, Red Ladder, BBC, and Munro House Arts Centre.

Upon completion of this Foundation Degree, you can progress to study for a third year and gain a full BA (Hons) Acting Top-up Degree
