Shannon Martin
BA Technical Theatre Arts (Stage & Costume Management pathway)

Guildhall has provided so many opportunities that I didn't expect when I applied. The mentor programme has also been hugely valuable to me.

Andrew McDonald
BA Technical Theatre Arts (Theatre Technology)

I chose to come to Guildhall because I wanted to become a set designer. Guildhall helped me understand who I want to be and how to get there.

Alena Tryapitsyna
BA Technical Theatre Arts (Design Realisation)

The School is the right mix of everything – supportive staff, positive work environment, world-class facilities and bespoke opportunities.

Saatvika Kantamneni

We run like a company with each student taking on a professional role. I feel this really prepares us for the outside world

Laurie Lumley
BA Video Design for Live Performance

The projects we work on are real - we are in effect constantly getting work experience

The facilities available to students to create are almost unimaginable

Carreen Walton
MA Collaborative Theatre Production and Design

It's the scale of productions that really makes Guildhall stand out. It gets to the point where you think, wow, this is massive. In other places, you just wouldn't have that opportunity to learn on the job.

Sian Clare
BA Technical Theatre Arts (Costume)

I had the opportunity to work with the BA Video Design for Live Performance course on an installation project in the chambers below Tower Bridge. It was a completely unique experience.
