Embody your fullest self and unlock your potential on stage and screen.
Our undergraduate Acting programme is contemporary, highly practical, project-based and designed to prepare you for a career as a versatile actor in today’s ever-changing media and performance landscape. You’ll gain the skills, experience and confidence to tackle a huge variety of acting roles in a vast range of formats and media, as well as the necessary self-sufficiency and proactivity to secure opportunities in the industry.
Whether in rehearsal, on set or in practical workshops, you’ll be guided through your acting training by industry-acclaimed practising professionals. You will also have the opportunity to work in collaboration with our film, music and visual effects students and star in a range of productions.
You can study this programme either as a full three-year BA degree or the first year only as a one-year HE Certificate.
As part of our specialist acting school, you'll benefit from a range of collaboration opportunities, not only with your fellow acting students but also with students in our Film & Visual Media and Music & Sound schools.
You'll get challenges with demanding deadlines and engage in working methodologies that resemble the usual everyday rough and tumble of industry life. At the same time, this 'real world' experience comes with an essential safety net – a chance to fail gloriously with no impact on your reputation, your income or your pride and then to get back into the rehearsal room and try again!
You should be interested in some or all of the following:
As well as leaving Catalyst with a brimming network of peers able to fill any role needed on set or on stage, your public-facing profile and body of work will equip you to apply to acting jobs across the board. You’ll be ready for performing in film, television, non-fiction and theatre productions, as well as voice acting in animations and podcasts or advertising or hosting on the radio.
Online content and streaming services are continuing to grow, opening an array of job opportunities and routes into the industry. You’ll be completing your studies in the city of Berlin, which has a thriving film industry and growing English-speaking community of creatives. All of this, as well as being home to Berlinale – considered one of Europe's "Big Three" film festivals, alongside Venice and Cannes.
Aside from being employable as an actor, there are other routes to take too. The course fully prepares you to be self-sufficient enough to make your own work – not just to take direction from others. Creative direction for theatre, film or television will be an option for you too. You’ll also be ready to work in a related profession, such as writing or teaching.
