Our 6 Month Foundation Course in Acting is a vigorous and rewarding course that will introduce you to a range of performance methods and techniques. It’s both challenging and fun – and helps you to develop your creativity and establish the beginning of a technique that will be invaluable for the future, whether you are going to audition for drama school, are planning to act at university or simply wish to develop your presentation and communication skills. The course is also very useful for those who have so far been unsuccessful at drama school auditions and offers support in audition technique. If you’re looking for an acting foundation course, why not consider The Oxford School of Drama.

The course is mainly taught by tutors who also teach on our One and Three Year courses and with over 32 hours of tuition per week, it will really give you a taste of life and insight into training at a world-class drama school.

Graduates of the Foundation Course have gone on to train on our own Three Year Course and at other leading drama schools including RADA, LAMDA, Drama Centre and Guildhall, but also to study unrelated subjects at all the major universities. As the course has been running for over 25 years, graduates are now pursuing successful careers in the industry, including at the National Theatre, Hampstead Theatre, Royal Exchange Theatre, Kiln Theatre, BBC and Channel 4.

The course lasts two terms. Entry is by audition only and there are no academic requirements.
