Acting universities

SO, I need some suggestions for universities for acting. I’m not talking about the big ones like rada, rose bruford, Manchester, CSSD, LIPA… and I’m also not talking about unis that do other random courses like Southampton, bath… you get the idea. I have applied for conservatoires already but need other options for unis that have a good acceptance rate at least 50%.
Please, I am desperate for suggestions as want to have this done by 10th of December. Some examples of what I’m looking for are BIMM, university of west london and UCA. Looking for unis NOT conservatoires. Course: acting for stage and screen BA (not musical theatre, just a course with acting for stage and also screen.
You guys are the best tysm!

Hi 🥰 I’m currently studying Theatre & Performance at Falmouth University, so my course isn’t acting only, but a lot of the training overlaps, like movement, voice, physical performance, devising. If you’re looking for universities (not conservatoires) here’s the link to the Acting BA if you want to have a look: Acting BA(Hons) | Falmouth University. Something I really appreciate is that we share some modules and workshops with acting students, so I’ve actually had classes with a few of the acting lecturers and they’re genuinely amazing. Super experienced and really passionate about helping students grow.

One of the thing I love about Uni is how collaborative the whole arts community is. Even if you’re on Acting, you’ll get chances to work with: Film students, Photography students, Fashion students, Music students, Game Arts students, animation students. You get loads of real world experience, and it really helps you build a network early on.

And I have to mention AMATA, our performance building, it’s basically a mini creative world on its own. Studios, rehearsal rooms, theatres, live events happening constantly, being surrounded by so many artistic people every day is honestly magical.

If you have questions about student life or the acting vibe here, I’m happy to help!
