Drama Schools in the UK

Drama school courses in the United Kingdom go for between three years for an undergraduate degree to one year for a diploma. Many drama schools also give you the option of being able to undertake study over the summer, and some have short courses that provide a quick overview of a specific area of your choice. Typically, it is best if you have a look around and find one that suits you. Remember that drama courses are intensive and require a certain level of maturity and dedication from the student.

  1. The Oxford School of Drama

    • Located in Oxfordshire, The Oxford School of Drama is one of the most distinguished drama schools in the United Kingdom. The school awards a diploma for a three-year drama course, and a certificate for a one-year course. The Oxford School of Drama also has a Theater and Acting preparation course, which runs for two to six months for those who simply want to test their skills. Each course is accredited by the Trinity College in London, England. According to their website, The Oxford School of Drama is the youngest of the accredited drama schools in the UK.

    The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA)

    • In terms of stage management, technical work, acting and directing, LAMDA could be considered the most historically productive drama school in the UK. It was formed in 1861 from a combination of other schools including The Academy of Music. Each course is offered through The University of Kent; but, according to the LAMDA website, they are still considered to be an independent drama school. They offer a variety of stage, film and television acting courses and cater to a wide international audience.
