The HND Acting programme, in collaboration with the world-famous Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, aims to produce proactive professional actors. The Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT) is a professional producing theatre, was Britain’s first theatre in the round, and has premiered over 80 of the plays of acclaimed playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn. In this unique collaboration, you will work with SJT professionals at points throughout the programme - including mentoring, observation of professional rehearsals, and participation on stage in a professionally directed piece for theatre. You will work daily in our professionally equipped spaces and studios, working and collaborating with industry professionals in a variety of contexts, with the aim of making you fully industry-ready upon successful graduation. The course is dedicated to making acting an accessible and rewarding occupation for all, regardless of background.
