AUTUMN PRE-UCAS AUDITION
Get the opportunity to audition for the course. If the drama team thinks more work needs to be done on the audition before offering a place then they will give you tailored feedback, which will hopefully give you a better chance of success on your next attempt, whether at St Mary’s or not. If you are given feedback then you are welcome to audition again in 2026.
Our Pre-UCAS auditions are a fantastic opportunity to receive professional feedback before applying. Many students return after working on our notes and are successfully offered a place.

We are happy to announce that yet another of our Acting Graduates made it to the finals of the prestigious Spotlight Awards. Over 65 drama school and universities put forward an actor so we are so very proud of Ashik (pictured) for making it through to the final.
Our 2026 West End Showcase was another huge success.
Friends, family, fellow students and industry professionals packed the theatre to celebrate the incredible work of our graduating actors. We were delighted to welcome agents, casting directors and directors, giving our students the chance to perform in front of the people who could help launch their careers.
