Sophie Ellis

BA (Hons) Dance

"The facilities at the College are great. The Performance Academy, where I study, has excellent dance facilities from large studio spaces, a studio theatre for smaller performances to a large 250 seat theatre fully equipped with an Aerial Rig."

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!"
