Guildford School of Acting (GSA) at the University of Surrey is one of the most highly regarded theatre schools in the UK with a vibrant community of performers, performance makers, applied theatre practitioners, creative practitioners and technicians graduating from our wide variety of programmes each year.

GSA offers world-class training at Foundation (CertHE), Undergraduate, and Postgraduate levels, delivered in our state-of-the-art facilities or via online distance learning. We also offer short courses, summer schools, and professional development programmes.

GSA operates a pedagogic approach that utilises student-centred, practice-based learning. Every module has an ethos of nurturing and enabling employability and personal development opportunities for the students. Our learning environment grants our students the freedom to take risks and embrace spontaneity.

We keep our cohorts small to ensure you get personal attention and contact from our expert teachers, who have extensive first-hand experience in professional theatre all over the world.
