Actor-Musician BA (Hons)

About

Our BA (Hons) Actor-Musician course is run by Guildford School of Acting (GSA), one of the most highly regarded theatre schools in the UK. You'll be taught by industry-leading professionals, and join a vibrant community of talented individuals.

We'll develop your combined talents as an actor and a musician, including the versatility to work professionally as an actor or actor-musician in a wide range of theatrical contexts.

We are ranked 5th in the UK for dance and drama in the The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022 and 6th for drama, dance and cinematic in the Complete University Guide 2023.

Our award-winning Professional Training placements prepare students for roles in industry. We deliver on jobs, too. We were named University of the Year for Graduate Employment in The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022.

On our BA (Hons) Actor-Musician course, you'll develop performance skills in acting, musicianship, dance and singing, alongside essential critical and evaluative skills.

In your first year, you'll strengthen core skills in acting, dance, singing and music. In your second year, you'll work on texts as diverse as Shakespeare, Lloyd Webber, Sondheim, Chekhov and Ibsen, with musicianship skills integrated within your studies. In your third year, you'll work on three main projects: a play, a musical and a devised piece, alongside a showcase of your work, connecting you with casting directors and agents across the industry.

By developing your skills as an actor-musician, you'll be able to take advantage of the ever-growing demand for versatile professional performers who can combine superb acting ability with a high standard of musicianship.
