Alexander Christodolou

BA (Hons) Acting and Performance Practice

"The highlight of studying at Newcastle College for me has been the excitement around performing at shows. The run up before, the adrenaline rush during and the celebration with peers and tutors at the end is the best part."

Ellie Sturrock

BA (Hons) Musical Theatre (Top-Up)

"The facilities for the Musical Theatre course are top of the range! Compared to a lot of other drama schools or conservatoires, where the theatre halls or dance studios aren't up-to-date at all, the ones at Newcastle College University Centre are all fully modernised and larger than usual. It also helps having teachers who are willing to improvise with you and play around with your individual creative process - it's both inspiring and enjoyable to learn from them!"
