Career opportunities

On the Theatre programme offered at the University of Surrey you will actively engage with fundamental principles and explore the rich heritage of theatre from a critical, historical and theoretical perspective. You’ll gain an understanding of theatrical practices and develop your ability to evaluate significant artistic, historical, social and political developments in theatre. You will be taught and advised by leading West End directors, casting agents, experienced professionals and leading academics, giving you a unique and comprehensive support network and knowledge base. Upon graduation, you will be able to contribute more creatively and intelligently to your chosen field as a result of a developed contextual, analytical and critical awareness with an ability to apply that awareness to a variety of texts and/or contexts, thereby enhancing employment and career opportunities. GSA offers careers advice throughout your course. We host an industry showcase, and GSA fully supports students with their first steps into the profession. 94 per cent of Surrey's Guildford School of Acting postgraduate students go on to employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2024, HESA).
