Acting

This course, delivered in collaboration with the world-famous Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT) in Scarborough, aims to produce proactive professional actors. The course is dedicated to making acting an accessible and rewarding occupation for all, regardless of your background.

Within the first year, you'll seek to learn the key foundations of being an actor. Voice, movement and core acting skills will be explored with influential practitioners. You should gain a personal understanding of your methods and styles as an actor.

In the second year, the course broadens to include training as an actor facilitator working in a range of settings and expands to include acting for exploring voice recording, filmmaking, acting for camera and audio narration as well as other recorded media options.

The collaboration with the SJT ensures that employability is embedded from the outset and exposure to creatives and industry professionals will facilitate high-level networking, enhancing professional opportunities and prospects following completion of the degree.

This Higher National Diploma (HND) follows the curriculum for Years 1 and 2 of the Acting BA (Hons) degree course.
