However, it's important to understand that these are separate entities. LAMDA is a specialist drama school, not a university. An American student would typically:
* Attend a UK university for a degree: They could pursue a bachelor's or master's degree in a subject unrelated to acting at a UK university.
* Then apply to LAMDA separately: After (or sometimes concurrently with) their university studies, they could apply to LAMDA for their acting training programs (which are usually postgraduate). Admission to LAMDA is highly competitive.
It's also possible, though less common, for a student to focus solely on LAMDA after completing their high school education in the US. This would require navigating the UK's visa requirements and application processes for international students.
In short: It's feasible, but requires separate applications and potentially concurrent study at a university and a drama school.
