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!"

Tegan Walmsley

BA (Hons) Dance

"I chose this degree because it offers a much wider variety of styles of dance, compared to other universities. I'd spoken to a few of my friends who have studied here and they said that as part of the course you do a lot of performances, workshops and work with industry, all things I was looking for!".
