Conversion [Distance Learning]

Distance learning

This course will appeal to GSA and CDS 3 year Diplomates or those holding a Trinity College London 3 year Professional Diploma. This course begins in early September

This is designed for diplomates who have successfully completed the three year Diploma in Acting or Musical Theatre and wish to upgrade that qualification to a degree. Diplomates of other accredited drama courses and professional performers are welcome to apply to take this course.

The Conversion Course provides academic and research modules which underpin the practical and vocational skills students on this course are expected to have as a result of their professional training and experience. It is wholly text and essay-based. It involves significant individual study, supported by tutorial assistance. You will need to be confident that you can put in the considerable amounts of time required for personal study if you are to meet the course requirements.

The course is essentially conducted by distance learning, Supported studyso it is possible for you to pursue it without being within reach of Guildford. We provide course materials and tutorial assistance. The first module includes some required attendance at GSA for two Seminar weekends during term time. This enables you to meet tutors and your fellow students, and to establish relationships and understandings which will help support your learning.

 

This course begins in early September when we have a viable group of students ready to start. The three modules each take roughly the equivalent of an academic term to complete. It is expected that students will complete the course within one Academic year.  There is a level of flexibility built into the course, so that once you have completed the first module it is possible, should family or work commitments dictate, for you to defer starting subsequent modules.

Cost

The Course consists of three modules, each of which must be successfully completed before you proceed to the next. There is a fee for each module of £780.00, (£2,340 for the whole course) charged in advance, once you have passed the previous one. This fee includes the cost of the University of Surrey Validation fee, and the tuition fees for the seminar. You will need to arrange accommodation during Seminar periods if you live too far from Guildford to commute for these.
