Hear from Acting graduate, Mandip Gill about her success on Dr Who.

Throughout the Acting BA, you’ll find an approach that is exciting, supportive, highly practical, vocational and performance focused. We will equip you with the skills which not only make you employable but also enable you to be creative.

During your final year, you’ll receive individual professional mentoring and appear in live Industry showcases in Manchester and London.
