The School currently has around 650 students on a range of courses including Acting and Performance, Contemporary Theatre, Costume, Production Design and Theatre Design.

Why choose us?
University of the Arts London is a vibrant world centre for innovation, drawing together six Colleges with international reputations in art, design, fashion, communication and performance.

Wimbledon College of Arts and its two programmes of study (Acting & Performance and Performance Design & Technologies) provides a collaborative performance environment producing bold, innovative performers and experimental designers.

We believe in a non-hierarchical, inclusive approach to performance making, that treats all the elements of Performance (acting, directing, writing, design, technologies) as equal partners. This provides the right environment to develop and equip talented pioneers in theatre and performance. Underpinning our approach is the ethos of the Arts School, encouraging students to question and develop a personal voice and individual practice.

The School of Performance was created in 2017 bringing together our established Performance Design courses and our Acting and Performance courses which began in September 2019. Theatre study has been at the heart of the College since 1930's with established courses in Theatre Design running from the 1950's.

In return, UAL offers generous leave, an attractive pension and a commitment to your continuing personal development and training in an environment that encourages excellence, creativity and diversity. Relocation assistance is available.
