General Eligibility

104 UCAS points. Any subjects are acceptable at Level 3, but subjects that include experience of dance are preferred. You should also have five GCSEs at grade C or above or grade 4 to 9 (or equivalent) including English and Mathematics. You’ll be required to attend an audition as part of the application process. The quality of the audition is the primary basis on which applicants, with at least the minimum entry requirements, are selected. If you're a mature student without the required entry qualifications, your application will be considered. You may be required to attend an interview, complete a diagnostic assessment and /or provide a portfolio of work. You’ll be required to pay a registration fee. The registration fee is refundable if you do not gain the UCAS points required for entry to the course or a satisfactory medical report. Successful applicants and students on the course will need to wear suitable dance attire (a list of items will be provided). You may well have many of these items, but for an estimate of the cost if you need to buy them new, please contact Admissions at Shockout.
