BA (Hons) Performance in Musical Theatre with Foundation Year

This four-year course is our very popular BA (Hons) Performance in Musical Theatre course, with an additional integrated foundation year. It’s the perfect route to help you develop the skills and self-confidence needed before you embark on Year 1 of your degree course. The foundation year, designed over 3 terms, enables students to achieve their potential as an actor at the start of their journey. 

By being accepted onto this course, subject to passing all relevant modules, you will have the option to progress onto our 3-year degree course the following September. 

Like many other foundation courses, all students will also have the opportunity to audition for other institutions during your foundation year, with the support of our faculty and your course leader. 

This allows our students to have a guaranteed* place on a degree, whilst keeping their options open for further study elsewhere.

*Subject to passing all relevant modules

The foundation year training is highly vocational and is constructed to help each student achieve their potential in all three disciplines – Acting, Singing and Dance. We will help you discover where your strengths and weaknesses lie, what courses and colleges might best suit you, and your goals as a performer beyond training.

Most of your classes will be technique based to ensure you are laying the correct foundations across all disciplines. 

As a year group you will be working closely together to undertake tasks and develop as a performer creatively and intellectually.
