Bachelor of Arts - Acting for Film (W420)

The University of Chichester Conservatoire is one of the largest and liveliest in the UK, with a community of over 400 student performers. Delivered by highly experienced practitioners in film and television acting, directing and producing this course offers access from first year onwards to extensive practical training in screen performance. As well as practical classes in camera and acting techniques the course also encompasses Film Combat, Voice-Over, Body Conditioning, Mindfulness and Professional Resilience.

Complementing this is the specialist development of industry knowledge and engagement – a unique programme in the UK. From the second year students also have an opportunity to create their own performance material and have their ideas professionally produced and filmed. In addition they will have the opportunity to audition and act in a number of short films specially written and produced by industry professionals. In the final year students will accumulate a significant body of show reel and voice-over material with additional careers workshops and advice from leading industry professionals available to them after graduation.

Students will acquire a toolkit of vocational knowledge in work based modules designed to help them to extend their work beyond that of an actor, and to develop real understanding of the challenges of work in a professional environment.
