Hi there–I am wondering if anyone has information about the Guildford School of Acting (Acting, specifically, but will take MT info also) since I know they are better known for their MT program. Would be especially helpful to get a feel from any student experiences…but anything that anyone knows would be great.
Any idea how they rank/compare to schools like Guildhall, LAMDA, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, etc.
Thanks for your help!
I don’t know anything about rankings, but this info might help:
Google The Student Room. It should come up with a UK url. It’s a forum similar to CC, but I think mostly students (hence the name!) post there. Go to Forums> University and University courses > Arts and Humanities University Courses > Creative Arts. That’s the forum for Arts in General. Or, go to forums> Universities and HE colleges> South of England. (couldn’t find Guildford listed specifically.) Or, just do a Guildford search and see what pops up!
I can tell you that filling out the CUKAS application (kind-of like the Common App for conservatoiries in the UK) is NOTHING like the applications here in the States. Wording for everything is completely different and VERY confusing. We got thru it, but it was nerve-wracking thinking we were making mistakes at every turn.
Thanks! I just checked it out. GSA is actually part of the UCAS not the CUKAS because it is affiliated with the University of Surrey. I did find some talk about Guildford and it seems many who apply for GSA also apply to Guildhall, LAMDA, RADA, and the like.
If anyone can relay any other experiences with GSA, that would be great!
