If your application is approved then you will be invited to send us a virtual audition. This will include a video of you performing an audition piece, answering some questions, and a written task.
BTEC Virtual Auditions 2020/21
Deadline for applications: Friday 10th April 2020.
For applicants looking to start September 2020 we will be holding virtual auditions. Offers will be made once we have received all submissions. The final deadline for applications will be Friday 10th April but we encourage people to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
Audition pieces should be between two and three minutes and can be whatever you want – circus, dance, a monologue – whatever best shows off your performance skills. Audition pieces are only watched by members of staff.
Applications for the BTEC course are made directly on our website here.
Foundation Degree / Vocational Auditions 2020/21
Due to the current requirements for social distancing, we are holding Virtual Auditions.
In the spirit of our face-to-face audition, we want to create a comfortable space that will give you the opportunity to show us who you are and what you do, to the best of your ability within your current restrictions. Admissions staff will be sending the Virtual Audition pack to all invited candidates. We hope you enjoy the challenge.
We have been using a similar system for many years for applicants who are unable to attend in person, for example because they would have to travel from overseas. It does not have a negative impact on the outcome.
The deadline for submissions is 10am on Tuesday 19th May 2020. Payment must be made by this date too (see link below).
Audition Fees
There is a small charge for the FDA / Vocational Virtual audition. If you have been invited to audition then you can pay here. If you have not yet been asked to audition then please don’t make any payments.
Please note the BTEC audition is free.
