INFORMATION ON UK DRAMA SCHOOLS
This section has now been updated for applications for courses starting in Autumn 2023.
This section is an alphabetical page by page guide to accredited UK Drama Schools, all in one place. Hopefully this can answer some of the first questions you may have about applying.
This information was either sent to us from the drama schools themselves or taken from the school’s websites. We will specify which at the top of each page. If a section is blank or with a ‘-’ this means that either the information was not easily found on the website during our search or that the school didn’t provide this information.
The information we provide will be specific to BA/Three year acting courses, although other performance courses are available at most Drama Schools.
We advise always checking each school’s website for further and more detailed information before making any decisions about your application as, if we have gotten the information from the website, there will inevitably be further information there for you.
Please note, the reference to ‘Open Door’ applies to the drama schools the organisation works with to provide free auditions to their participants. You can find more information Here
If it would be helpful to have the Drama School information in another format, please email: info@missinglinkarts.org and we will do our best.
