MA Musical Theatre: Acting and Performance

Grade standard: Normally an undergraduate degree in a relevant field (drama/theatre/performance studies); other disciplines considered, and candidates without a degree but with significant prior experience considered; performer experience is essential. IELTS 7.0 overall, no component below 6.0 (official SELT page; some aggregators quote no component below 6.5 - conflict preserved, official figure used here; SELT evidence due by 1 August of enrolment year). Selection: AUDITION in acting, singing and movement; entry is by audition and Central looks for potential and sustainable employability after the course; a specialised pathway for composers/musical directors who are also performers is assessed case by case. Pakistan: NO official Pakistan threshold found on Central's own site (International Applicants and English Language Requirements pages searched Oct 2026; no country-specific Pakistan page retrievable) - applicants are assessed against the programme standard below; confirm Pakistani bachelor equivalence with Admissions (admissions@cssd.ac.uk) before advising. Do NOT quote aggregator figures as official and do NOT transfer another country's figures to Pakistan. ELQ warning: a second qualification at an equivalent or lower level is charged the overseas fee. Overseas offer-holders pay a GBP 2,000 deposit to accept; CAS is issued only after the offer is accepted, English is met and the deposit is paid (official fees page 2026/27).
