Application Advice for International Students

Direct to Performers College

Apply Direct

The application deadline is Friday the 29th of August 2025, if you require a visa to study with us. We highly recommend that applications are made before this date as they are processed on a first-come, first served basis.

The earlier you can apply the sooner we can issue you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), if you require a Student Visa to study in the UK.

We may be able to consider late applications on a case-by-case basis.

UCAS

You can apply for a UK Undergraduate Degree Level course via UCAS.

Applications can be submitted for multiple courses. We have created a helpful guide for your application.

Apply through UCAS

Performers College Representatives

If you wish to get more support locally, you can contact one of our trusted representatives/agents* who will assist throughout your application, free of charge.

If your country is not listed in our directory, please contact admissions on chat or email or let us know if you would like to arrange a call. We will be happy to assist with your application.

*Undergraduate applicants who are applying with the help of an agency should also state their agent’s company name in the box ‘Nominated Name’ on the UCAS form, otherwise we can’t correspond with the agency regarding your application.

Our in-person auditions are usually held between November and April. We are looking for people who inspire us with their individuality, commitment, work ethic and, most importantly, their talent and potential. It does help to have some prior knowledge of the subjects you will undertake on the day, but this is not essential. 

Our staff and students create a friendly and welcoming environment that will help to ease your nerves and make the process as enjoyable as possible. 

Our auditions are held on campus and conducted by our Senior Management Team and lecturers. For those who are unable to attend in person, we offer the facility to submit self-tapes, full details of which will be sent you on request.  

Please check our Course Audition Guides here. Our course audition guides will help you prepare for your in-person audition or self-tape submission. It is important that you read each section to give yourself the best chance of obtaining a recommendation for your chosen course.

We will send out the relevant guide to you when we invite you for your interview/ audition/ self-tape submission.

Successful applicants will usually need to provide the following, as a part of the admissions process:

Qualifications

A copy of your academic transcripts and certificates, showing that minimum entry requirements for the course have been met. This will need to be officially translated into English. We can accept Dialexy or other official English translators. Please do not worry if your final academic transcripts are not due until summer. You can provide this as soon as it is available – the latest deadlines are usually in August*.

*This deadline may vary for students who require a Visa under the Student route of the Points Based System to study in the UK full-time.

For country-specific entry requirements please visit our international entry requirements page.

Copy of your passport and/or valid ID

Admissions may request a copy of your passport to confirm your fee status and/or to determine if you need a visa to study in the UK. This is to ensure that the correct information on the admissions process is given to you for a successful application.

We will be required to check all passports and or valid ID’s in person at the point of enrolment to fulfil Right to Study (RTS) checks. Failure to provide this may result in the student not being able to enroll onto the course.
