East 15 Acting School’s BA Stage and Production Management course is a practical-based professional training that prepares students for careers in a range of production and technical roles in theatre, events and related creative industries.
The School emphasizes learning through practice and students are part of a creative production team from early in the course. Based at the picturesque Loughton Campus, the proximity to London means students will be able to keep up-to-date with the latest technical innovations in one of the world’s greatest theatre capitals. The specially equipped Unit Four building is complete with workshops, an IT suite and seminar rooms – the perfect environment for learning the craft!
University of Essex's international, outstanding teaching faculty is made up of professionals from all areas of live and recorded performance.
In addition to the widespread opportunities offered in the stage, film and television industry, there is huge demand across the events sector for production staff at festivals, concerts, exhibitions, sporting events and large scale outdoor events. Students often gain employment through successful work placements. Alumni have previously worked in production and technical roles at leading British performance venues such as The National, RSC, and Northern Ballet. There are also graduates working at the BBC, on Game of Thrones and international theatres in Dubai and China as well as international tours and theme parks.
