Overview

Building on the success of GSA’s current one-year Acting MA from University of Surrey , this unique and innovative MFA course trains future generations of internationally renowned performers and professionals, enabling students to develop their experience, practical ability, and critical understanding of acting while enhancing their overall learning and growth as confident practitioners.

What you will study

Our innovative Acting MFA builds on the success of GSA’s current postgraduate course by extending the intensive training currently offered on our one-year Acting MA.

Our Acting MFA is highly selective and intensive. You’ll train over two years, taking classes in acting for stage and screen, voice, and movement, exploring a wide range of theatre traditions and performance styles in rehearsal projects and public productions, and participating in professional development events and masterclasses.

The second year of the programme includes mentored opportunities for students to develop their own teaching practice and creative work. Your performance opportunities will include a short film project, a public production, and an industry digital showcase.
