3 Year Programme
The Diploma mirrors the BA (Hons) in every aspect of training, performance, and professional preparation. You’ll train alongside BA students in the same studios, with the same faculty, and perform in the same productions and showcases.
The difference? The Diploma is not validated by a university, making it a strong choice for students who prefer a vocational route or do not wish to apply for student finance.
​
You’ll experience:
​
-
The same daily triple-threat training as the BA.
-
Dance focus: Jazz as the primary assessed discipline, with ballet and tap studied to broaden technique, plus commercial and contemporary styles introduced through workshops.
-
Individual singing lessons, ensemble classes, and audition repertoire coaching.
-
Acting: Stanislavski, Hagen, Meisner, screen performance, and devised theatre.
-
Musical Theatre Practice: projects in TIE, new writing, and creative production work as training evolves.
-
Equal access to productions, showcases, and industry professionals.
Ideal if you want the full conservatoire experience without the academic framework.​​
