Directing

An applicant will be considered for admission who has already achieved an educational level equivalent to passes in two subjects at GCE Advanced Level, supported by passes in three other subjects at GCSE Grade C or above.

This educational level may be demonstrated by:

• possession of the qualifications named above;
• possession of equivalent qualifications;
• prior experiential learning, the outcome of which can be demonstrated to be equivalent to the formal qualifications otherwise required
• a combination of formal qualifications and experiential learning which taken together can be demonstrated to be equivalent to the formal qualifications otherwise required.

For candidates whose first language is not English a certificate attesting to achievement of IELTS 7.5 or equivalent is required.

This course requires an interview

Entry to MA Directing is highly competitive. Selection to the course is determined by the quality of the application: this is indicated primarily in the quality of your interview and practical work.

• Foundation Diploma in Performance (Level 3 or 4)
• A pass in 1 GCE A level
• Passes at GCSE level in 3 other subjects (grade C or above)

OR

• Passes in 2 GCE A Levels (80 UCAS tariff points normally including one single award)
• Passes at GCSE level in 3 other subjects (grade C or above)

This educational level may be demonstrated by possession of equivalent qualifications; e.g. International Baccalaureat or High School Diploma.

Applicants who do not meet these course entry requirements may still be considered if the course team judges the application demonstrates additional strengths and alternative evidence. This might be demonstrated by, for example: related academic or work experience; the quality of the personal statement; a strong academic or other professional reference; or a combination of these factors.
