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."
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."
