Overseas Students
East 15 has staff and students from all over the world, while programmes offered allow students to study other cultures and traditions.
English language
Due to the challenging nature of East 15's programmes, students are expected to have a high standard of English. Although this is assessed at audition and interview stage, undergraduate applicants whose first language is not English will be expected to have at least IELTS 6.0 (or equivalent) on a recent test.
Please note that MA in Acting (International) is a specialist course designed for overseas students (English first language and English second language students).
