Have you been offered places at both?

GSA is incredibly difficult to get into. They offer a true triple threat course, however they are also part of a larger university with the facilities, accommodation and welfare support of the university.

But some may prefer the vibe at Urdang. They are more known for their dance training, but are starting to take in more singer/actors too.

Hi there! My name is Jenna, and I am a first-year international student at Urdang! 😄
Moving from Canada to London was scary at first, however the Urdang community has become a second family to me. There are many international students at Urdang, and we all receive a lot of support from Urdang and the University. As Urdang is a part of City St Georges, the students have access to all of the facilities within the Uni including health and well-being support, academic support, the library, gym etc. Overall, what I love about Urdang is the triple threat training. In first-year we train equally in dancing, singing, and acting, and we also have theoretical classes. We are also taught how to keep care of our body's in order to have a long lasting career. Another aspect of Urdang that I love is its location. It is only a 10 min bus ride from the West End, which is truly inspiring. Overall I feel that Urdang is an incredible place for international student's as it is supportive, challenging, and inspiring. If you want to learn more about the program, they have an Online Open Session on Feburary 19th! You can sign up through the link on the website: https://urdang.city.ac.uk/
