Course Information

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Acting) is a future-focused program nurturing the next generation of culturally aware actors for the international stage and screens.

The course offers intensive studio-based actor training that uses a conservatoire-style approach to prepare you to work across all areas of the profession for stage, screen and digital media, including animation and gaming.

The structure of the course allows intensive skills training and practice to take place alongside rehearsal processes and a wide variety of performance situations. With small class sizes in a studio-based environment, you will develop a creative methodology and sense of self in your artistic practice, working in concentrated workshop environments and on public productions and showings.

Breadth subjects at each year level enable you to explore cross disciplinary studies from the wider University community, accessing multi-disciplinary knowledge and skills that will build on existing knowledge or present opportunities for you to investigate and develop new interests.
