Course overview

The acting business is always changing. This Performance (Acting) program at Bath Spa University is designed to take your performance skills to the next level while teaching you about the contemporary demands of the industry. We’ll show you how to find and create opportunities, such as in voiceover work for gaming, audiobooks and radio, alongside acting for stage and screen.

As a performer, your career will be collaborative. We give you plenty of opportunities to connect with people at every level, in every discipline. You’ll explore a range of skills, such as producing and directing, and become confident in the entrepreneurial demands of a portfolio career. You’ll take part in actor training, build a theatre company, and perform at indoor and outdoor theatres on our campus, as well as at professional venues in Bath.

Throughout the MA, you’ll develop your professional profile, hone your skills and grow your network of contacts, so that when you graduate, you’re equipped to take on the challenges faced by the contemporary actor, and thrive.
