Designed to create fearless, connected and imaginative artists who are employable, knowledgeable and industry ready as actors and makers for both theatre and film. Through training on Fourth Monkey’s BA (Hons) Acting degree you can expect to develop the skills and capabilities that will empower you to build a sustainable career as an actor and artist for stage, screen and the digital world.

Studying over three years on Fourth Monkey’s BA (Hons) Acting degree will provide you with an opportunity to develop professional level performance skills, with training drawn from a breadth of established international practices. This approach fosters confident, professional and employable actors ready for the industry. It will also allow you to integrate these skills with a capacity to create and realise your own process as a creative artist.

Today's actor requires the capacity to adapt their performance across varying and emerging media; engage creatively in generating text and performance opportunities; and interpret existing material. Entrepreneurship and the ability to actively identify, shape and capitalise work opportunities within a rapidly changing and largely freelance job market has become a vital quality for the successful actor and this sustainable philosophy is central to our training pedagogy.

Through the training on this course, you will foster and develop your curiosity, creativity and confidence to become an independent and adaptable performer with the skills to develop and sustain a long and diverse career. The three-year mode of study will allow you to engage intensively and holistically with your training whilst allowing additional space for organic growth and maturity within your craft. It will also afford you multiple opportunities to apply and test your skills in a performance rich programme with the guidance of experienced directors, practitioners and industry specialists.
