One of the best things about PACE is it's very experiential - you are not just thinking about the theory of it but you are actually putting in the work and you get to experience both sides of it.

MA in Acting

We are no longer accepting applications for the MA in Acting programme.

Guildhall School remains committed to a postgraduate training in acting, and will be developing a new Masters level offer that is eligible for UK government funding, ensuring that more people can access our training.

The MA has been a highly successful programme, and has produced a prestigious array of graduates, of whom we are very proud. We are fully committed to the students currently studying on the MA programme, and their training will continue.

Guildhall will continue to accept the same number of students on to its Acting programmes via the BA programme. Applicants who have a university degree but are seeking a drama school training are encouraged to consider applying for the BA instead, the fees for which are charged at the same rate.
