Postgraduate Courses

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School has led the way in training theatre, television and film professionals for almost 80 years.

Our Postgraduate courses are recognised nationally and internationally as a benchmark of quality in acting, creative and technical arts. By choosing Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, you are joining a school with a world-renowned reputation, based in one of the UK’s most lively and creative student cities.

Our 1-year full time training opportunities cover: 

Places on all courses are highly sought after and each cohort is kept deliberately small and agile to maximise the impact of teaching and hands-on experience working collaboratively across all disciplines in the school.

It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
