All applicants are asked to undertake an audition, and acceptance or rejection is decided principally through an applicant’s achievement in audition and interview. All applicants must also offer satisfactory evidence that they have reached a minimum standard of literacy and cognitive ability to enable them to read dramatic and critical texts and respond appropriately to these texts through a range of different modes, including written essays, discussions and debates and practical work on a role.

This evidence may be offered in a number of ways, including:

· Formal qualifications, such as GCSEs, A-Levels, BTEC’s,
· Access Courses, Youth Access Courses and the
· 14-19 Diploma (or equivalent to 160 UCAS points).
· Professional experience in a relevant field.
· Other relevant learning or experience which does not carry
· a formal qualification.
· Written or other assignments set by the course team and
· satisfactorily completed as a condition of acceptance, prior
· to the start of the course.

Where an applicant does not have formal qualifications, and requests that the course team consider alternative evidence of their ability, the course team reserves the right to require the applicant to complete an assignment as a condition of entry.

If you are uncertain about the value of your qualification, please contact Kerry Beverstock, Course Co-ordinator on 020 7733 3210 or email acting@lsbu.ac.uk
