ALRA offers a Foundation Diploma in Acting. The full time option gives students a real insight into conservatoire actor training and preparation for working in the industry. It is beneficial for those wishing to pursue professional training at a higher level.

  • Timetables are distributed during induction week and then at the start of each subsequent term. Please note that although we make every effort to supply the full timetable, some changes are inevitable due to reasons beyond our control. All aspects of the timetable are compulsory.

    The course includes modules on:

        • Acting Technique
        • Voice
        • Movement
        • Acting for Camera (Film and TV)

        • ALRA
        • Birmingham School of Acting
        • Central School of Speech and Drama
        • Bristol Old Vic
        • RADA
        • ArtsEd
        • Guildhall
        • East 15
        • Rose Bruford
        • Drama Studio London
        • National Youth Theatre
        • St Mary's

    The course is one year full time comprising of 21 contact hours per week over four days.

  • Applicants should be 18 on enrolment (by mid-September/first day of Induction). We also welcome older students, especially those who are thinking about a career change. You don't need any formal qualifications but those seeking to pursue a university place will need a Level 3 qualification and should seek further advice.

    We are not able to sponsor a VISA for international students to study on the Foundation course. Applicants must hold a valid VISA or be UK Nationals.

    The Stefan Thegeby Foundation Bursary

    Foundation students can also apply for the ALRA Stefan Thegeby Foundation Bursary (£250.00) This is given to one student in the North and one in the South campus each year in recognition of the bravery of former student, Stefan Thegeby. Stefan Thegeby was a remarkable young man who studied on our Foundation Course before training at the Central School of Speach and Drama. Stefan was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma, a rare diease where cancer cells are found in the bone or soft tissue. He remained, throughout, an incredibly vibrant and creative force of life. To celebrate this, ALRA provide a bursary in his name toalling £500.00 which is usually split betwen the campuses.
