It is important that candidates are interested in gaining a greater understanding of how theatre and plays work and are keen to be involved with performances. The course demands practical, creative and communication skills in almost equal measure. Candidates will extend their ability to create drama and theatre, either in a performing or production role. They will also be required to write about drama and to develop their powers of analysis to become an informed critic.
Sixth Form candidates should be predicted a minimum of three-level 7s and three-level 6s at I/GCSE. We expect applicants to achieve at least a level 7 in the subjects they wish to study at A Level (where appropriate). Those living overseas and not taking I/GCSE papers may take our own entrance examinations in English, Maths and a General Paper, by arrangement either at their current school or at a British Council office and will be interviewed by Skype. Candidates who do not have English as their first language should refer to the International Candidates page.
