The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Acting) is an intensive conservatoire-style program, focused on the rigorous preparation of actors working across all areas of the profession for stage and screen, including animation and gaming. This dynamic, forward-thinking program will nurture a new generation of culturally aware and internationally focused actors for the Asia Pacific region.

A studio-based learning environment encourages you to develop holistically as an actor while small class sizes support intensive project-based learning.  You will explore current infrastructural, cultural and methodological practices in the profession, and undertake intensive skills training and practice alongside rehearsing for a variety of performance situations. You will be given the opportunity to engage in national and international engagement projects, building on existing expertise and approaches to industry readiness to become an autonomous, ensemble and company actor. As an Acting student you will develop and maintain strong connections with VCA Theatre, Film and Television, and Production students throughout the course.
