Acting: Stage and Screen, BA (Hons), Royal Central School of Speech and Drama

Our minimum academic entry requirement is 64 UCAS tariff points or above - these can be from any Level 3 qualification (eg. A-levels, BTECs, etc.) which attract UCAS points, and selection by audition.

You can see how many tariff points your qualifications would gain on the UCAS Tariff Calculator. International qualifications and others not covered within the UCAS tariff can also be accepted.

Normal offers may be higher and depend upon expected grades and audition performance. Exceptional applicants who do not meet this requirement, but demonstrate appropriate potential, may be accepted.

Admissions

This is an intensive professional training course and must be followed in its entirety. 

Candidates must be eligible to satisfy the general admissions requirements. Admission will be based on the reasonable expectation that you have the potential to complete and contribute positively to the programme and that you would benefit from honours study. There is no alternative to selection by audition.

Selection for audition will normally depend on you meeting, or being predicted to meet, minimum entry requirements, and on written references and demonstration of the following in the UCAS written statement:

• engagement with theatre and acting at national/local level
• evidence of a real commitment to acting and a long-standing interest in acting and theatre
• knowledge of a range of theatrical forms and genres
• experience gained in post-education contexts, such as the workplace, travel and voluntary settings.

In the absence of formal qualifications, an indication of academic potential will be sought in your UCAS statement.
