DEADLINE EXTENDED!

BADA is offering Branch Scholarships for the Spring 2026 semester, covering full tuition on our flagship London Theatre Program. These scholarships are open to candidates with UK residence and will be awarded competitively through an audition and interview process. This is an unparalleled opportunity for acting students to undertake 14 weeks of full-time professional theatre training for free, perfect as a bridge into studying in a UK or international theatre conservatoire, or as part of a portfolio of training.

The Branch Scholarships will cover full tuition fees, as well as theatre tickets and social events. Scholars will be responsible for their own accommodation, transport and subsistence. Candidates should be prepared to undertake a rigorous ensemble training programme with up to 35 hours per week of classes.

Based at BADA’s home next to Regent’s Park, the London Theatre Program is the longest-running semester programme in London offering conservatoire actor and director training. For over thirty years, the LTP has delivered a rigorous and progressive 14-week course focused on classical theatre skills, aimed at undergraduate theatre students from America and around the world. Our internationally-renowned faculty of teaching artists includes faculty from RADA, Central, LAMDA, Guildhall and other major drama schools.
