Drama and Theatre Studies

Entry Requirements

The basic entry requirement onto most courses is a minimum of a grade 6 at GCSE in an appropriate subject, however, those students who embark on A Level studies with a grade 7 or above are likely to find the transition much easier. In some cases, there may be further restrictions e.g. a minimum of a grade 6 in Maths to do Physics. Please see the following individual subject pages for further details. Students must also have achieved at least a grade 4 in both Maths and either English Language or Literature to qualify for entry into the Sixth Form. Enthusiasm, commitment and a readiness to work constructively in a team. A strong interest in either acting or theatre design is essential. A grade 6 in GCSE Drama is useful but not compulsory for acceptance on the course, but in its absence, students must be able to demonstrate other experience of productions or theatre.
