What I would highlight: I chose Regent’s because the curriculum was attractive and challenging. London is a wonderful and welcoming place for any hard-working student looking to expand their academic portfolio. The city is full of multicultural societies and it really is a friendly place for everyone. I have made many international and national friends that I will cherish for life.
What could be improved: Nothing.

Course programme

Additional information

A blend of theory and practice
Both theory and practice are vital tools for the actor. To create a role, you will engage in reading and research about the societies and cultures which have shaped world theatre. You will also explore theory through exercises and workshops in the studio. Each year, students engage in the research and creation of a performance project, working closely with theatre professionals. 

As you progress through the programme, you and your classmates will create more complex and sophisticated performance work. You will learn about the roles of the director, designer and creative team, and will explore the stages of production planning and rehearsal strategies.

In the final year, you will have a substantial part in a public production, directed by a theatre professional and shown at Regent's state-of-the-art theatre in Marylebone.

Make the world your stage
You will learn about theatre and performance across the world, in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. A special feature of the programme is an annual Artist Residency, where a professional practitioner works with students to create a short project. Your voice, movement, and acting classes draw upon the richness of world theatre. 

As you develop your craft as an actor and a theatre-maker, you will gain a wide portfolio of skills in Western and non-Western performance techniques, voice and movement, acting for the camera and the uses of scenography and theatre technology as performing partners for the actor.

Study abroad
In addition to your London training, you will experience theatre and performance culture beyond the UK through an exciting term spent studying abroad. This term takes place in Year 2 and replaces term 4 of your Regent's degree. For more information see the study abroad section.
