Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (BOVTS) and UWE Bristol are proud to unveil a new tuition fee discount designed to boost career progression for their graduates.
For the 2026/27 academic year, UWE Bristol graduates can benefit from a 20% discount on tuition fees for any of BOVTS’s prestigious postgraduate programmes.
In a reciprocal move, BOVTS graduates from any BOVTS programme validated by UWE Bristol will also benefit from a 20% tuition discount on applicable postgraduate courses at UWE Bristol. (This includes BA/FdA undergraduate degrees and Postgraduate MA/MFA courses only.)
Importantly, this opportunity is not limited to the Class of 2026; the offer extends to the entire UWE Bristol and BOVTS alumni communities with a relevant degree, ensuring that past graduates can also access this fantastic opportunity for further professional development with a 20% discount.
Stu Harvey, Principal of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, said:
“At Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, we believe training does not end at graduation. It evolves with you. This reciprocal agreement with UWE Bristol reflects our shared ambition to empower artists, performers and creative leaders at every stage of their journey. By reducing financial barriers, we are opening doors for our alumni to continue challenging themselves, refining their craft and shaping the future of our industries.
Just as importantly, this is about Bristol. It is about two institutions working together to strengthen our local creative communities, retain exceptional talent in the region and ensure the arts continue to flourish here.”
This development highlights the ongoing strategic partnership between the two institutions and underscores a shared commitment to providing world-class opportunities for their combined student and alumni bodies.
