For International Students
Study Abroad (JYA)
Want to Study Abroad or planning your JYA?
Please note, the study abroad options below are for students enrolled on programmes from outside the UK to spend part of their studies at East 15 Acting School.
We are excited to now offer study abroad opportunities at East 15 for conservatoire training on our Acting programmes and we have constructed a bespoke range of options, providing an excellent, complementary education to students wishing to expand their knowledge and practice.
Students can choose from the following options:
- A full academic year
- Autumn Semester
- Spring Semester - with an optional Intensive Summer Term in May
The programme modules are selected from the middle year of our three year acting programmes, delivered by our own faculty and visiting professional artists, and are designed to be of particular interest to those wishing to focus their actor training and theory in the UK.
Our accredited Acting Abroad programme brings together Skills development (Voice, Movement, and Singing) and textual analysis, with a specific focus on Shakespeare, classic and contemporary British texts, enhanced by contextualisation and a concentrated approach to acting technique and methodology.
Modules constitute the usual 60 UK credits for one Semester, 120 UK credits for the Year or an extra 15 UK credits for an optional Intensive Summer Term.
