PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
BA (Hons) Musical Theatre at Italia Conti is a three-year, full time vocational course for anyone aged 18+ wishing to become a professional performer in Musical Theatre.

The programme is validated by University of East London (UEL). Full government funding is available through Student Finance England for Home students.

COURSE SUMMARY
Training to be a professional performer in Musical Theatre requires many things:​


Dedication and determination​


Skills in Acting, Singing and Dancing


The ability to think, to research, to analyse and to critique your own work


Bravery: emotional and physical

That said, training to be a professional Musical Theatre performer is one of the most exciting and rewarding journeys that you will ever take and, if you want to take that journey, then we believe that there is nowhere better to take it, than here at Italia Conti. ​

There is a reason why Italia Conti is one of the most recognised names in performing arts training. For over a century we have helped students to fulfil their potential as performers and as people and to work at the very highest level in every aspect of the performing arts industry.​ We provide a programme of training that takes account of industry needs and current teaching and learning trends.

Italia Conti graduates can be seen on stage and screen in the UK and internationally. ​We have graduates working in the West End and on Broadway in musicals and in plays, in national and international tours, in cabarets and on cruise ships.​ We have graduates working in Film and in Television. We have produced some of the UK’s top recording artists - solo artists and band members.

Italia Conti has a proven track record of nurturing talent at the very highest level - which is why Ofsted has rated us ‘Outstanding’ for the quality our training.​ Italia Conti will help you to be the best version of you that you can be.

COURSE STRUCTURE
The programme is organised into modules with various modes of assessment.

At Level 4 these modules are concerned with the acquisition of core skills in Acting, Singing, Dance and Voice and provide the foundation for your training as a Musical Theatre Performer. These core skills are brought together in the Musical Theatre Performance Practice Module where you will learn to apply the skills you have learnt holistically in a musical theatre performance, with equal emphasis placed on all three.

At Level 5 these core skills become more advanced and more integrated. More project work is introduced, in which the three core disciplines become completely interdependent.

At Level 6 the emphasis becomes preparing you for a career as a professional Musical Theatre performer. You will perform in two fully staged musicals, a West End Showcase and the Italia Conti Summer Show. You will continue your training in Acting, Singing, Dance and Voice and, for your dissertation, will be required to create a practical piece of Musical Theatre performance.

At Level 6, audition technique will be honed in the three core disciplines, to ensure that, when you leave, you have all the skills necessary to embark upon a successful professional career.
