Level 3 Diploma in Acting (Marlowe Academy of Performing Arts)

Assessment is based on your performances and written work throughout the year. Criteria includes body language, voice skills, professionalism and production skills. You will also be able to reflect on your own practice and agree your own targets for development.

Once you finish your course, you will be ready to start in a career in the performing arts industry. You can also go onto further study in this area with a specialism of your choice, such as at universities and prestigious performing arts schools all over the UK and the world.

As well as getting all the benefits of work experience at The Marlowe Theatre, you will have the opportunity to design and develop your own drama workshops for students within the College, as well as schools in the local area.

Visiting local theatres and seeing professional performances is also a big part of our curriculum, designed to help you see and reflect on your own work.

Further work experience opportunities are supported by our Industry Liaison Officer, who finds placements that are right for you.

We also benefit our community by taking part in social action projects which help with development and skill progression, as well as making a difference locally.

You do not need previous acting experience to apply, but ability and suitability for this course is determined through an audition process. More information about this will be given at the application stage.
