MA Acting for Stage, Screen & Radio Course

Fees and Funding

UK and EU Students

Subject to approval by the Board of Directors, the programme fee for students from the UK and other EU countries on the MA Acting for Stage, Screen & Radio programme beginning in September 2011 will be £8,200.

Local authorities do not usually provide financial support for students on postgraduate courses. You may be able to apply for financial assistance from a variety of educational charities and trusts, although these are generally very competitive. For further information, contact the Educational Grants Advisory Service, or obtain a copy of the Education Grants Directory, published by the Directory of Social Change.

Professional and Career Development Loans are bank loans that can be used to help pay for work related learning.  You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work).  The Young People’s Learning Agency will pay the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards.  The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. For further information on financial assistance to support your learning, visit www.direct.gov.uk/adultlearning or contact Careers Advice on 0800 100 900.

International Students

The programme fee for students starting in September 2011 from outside the European Union on the MA Acting for Stage, Screen & Radio programme is £16,350.

You will automatically be considered for a scholarship when you submit your application. Partial tuition scholarships are available and are awarded by RWCMD based on merit following auditions.

UK authorities are unable to provide financial support for students from outside the European Union. We recommend that you contact the Ministry of Education or Education Department in your own country for details of scholarship opportunities for students wishing to study overseas. You can also contact your nearest British Council office which will have details of British scholarship schemes. The UK Council for International Education also provides advice on finance as well as visas and immigration on its website at www.ukcosa.org
