Other requirements

General requirements

We will consider applicants with a 2:2 Honours degree with 53% or above in their first degree in drama. While we normally only consider applicants who meet this criterion, if you are coming from a different academic background which is equivalent to degree level, or have relevant work experience, we would welcome your application. Practical and/or professional experience may be taken as constituting the equivalent of a degree qualification.

Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
