Overseas applications for NCDT accredited courses are
welcomed. Most schools will prefer to audition/interview overseas applicants
in person. However some schools may be able to arrange to audition/
interview candidates in their own country, some may also be prepared
to consider a VHS video audition/ authenticated recording, or arrange
auditions via video conferencing. For technical candidates it may be
possible to arrange telephone interviews. Applicants should contact
all schools directly to see if these arrangements are provided.
All overseas applicants whose first language is not English
must have a high standard of written and spoken English that will enable
them to benefit fully from their course of study. A minimum IELTS score
of 6.5 or TOEFL 500-550 (220 for Computer Based Testing) is requested
for entry to most College courses. A Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency
in English at grade C or above would also normally be acceptable. Other
English language qualifications may be acceptable and applicants should
contact the schools for advice.
NCDT accredited drama courses normally cost between £8,000
and £11,000 per year for overseas students. Students will also
need to demonstrate their ability to support themselves during their
time of study. To find out about educational opportunities and funding
for courses in the United Kingdom applicants should contact the British
Council office in their country of residence.
