Free Auditions
Central has removed audition fees for ALL prospective students auditioning for its undergraduate level acting courses from 2025 entry onwards and for its diploma acting courses immediately.
The development is part of a process aimed at widening opportunities for people of all backgrounds to access theatre training.
The School has also established three new travel grants to enable eligible future students to visit its campus:
A £20,000 travel grant to encourage prospective applicants to attend its undergraduate open days
Two grants totalling £30,000 to support with travel costs associated with attending final round undergraduate acting auditions and other applicant-focused on campus events.
Travel grants to encourage eligible students to attend its open days will be available in time for Central’s next undergraduate open day in June 2024. Find out how to apply for our Open Day Travel Grant.

In order to be considered for the BA (Hons) Acting programme at Central you will need to submit an application (through UCAS) following the general guidance for undergraduate applicants.
Interviews for BA (Hons) Contemporary Performance Practice and BA (Hons) Theatre Practice are also free of charge.
