Acting for Stage & Screen BA (Hons)

There's more than one style of acting, and there's more than one way of learning about acting. Theatre and performance have been part of cultures all around the world for millennia, with vast differences in theory and practice from country to country.

Every acting tradition has its own strengths, and in this programme you will experience training in techniques from a range of world theatre cultures. The BA (Hons) Acting for Stage & Screen celebrates the richness of theatre and performance from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas.

The programme combines an active mix of theory and practice. Through a comparative study of world theatres, you will explore your creative potential in acting, voice, movement and theatre-making. You will learn from other cultures through the programme itself and your collaborations with other students. For your graduation show, each student has a substantial part in a play directed by a professional director and shown in our own Marylebone Theatre. You will also have various opportunities throughout the programme to collaborate with students from our Film & Screen programme. This will help you learn how to act in front of the camera, as well as learn about the processes of acting for the screen.

London will be the centre of your experience at Regent's. Our central Regent’s Park location puts our cultural capital within easy reach. You will explore the intermixing of theatre and artistic endeavours through our connections with the industry, and you will work with other students to form your own creative hubs of talent and skill.

An optional Study Abroad semester is a key part of your university experience. You can immerse yourself in a new country and its unique culture at one of our many partner universities. You will gain the confidence and skills to take to the stage or screen anywhere in the world.
