Our Industry Connections
Industry connections for all students are at the heart of Central’s mission and our one-to-one, bespoke approach sets us apart from other higher education or theatre training establishments.
There are a wide variety of placements undertaken by students at Central with a constantly expanding number of partnership organisations. An added benefit of these placements is that students graduate from Central with a broad network of industry contacts, making them better placed to advance their careers.
Courses not involving placements benefit from our extensive roster of visiting professionals, who teach specialist skills and lead or work alongside students on creative projects. Where appropriate leading agents and casting directors attend student productions and showcase events.
