Our industry links have been an instrumental part in helping us create a bespoke course that facilitates top industry connections.

Our students come from across the UK and abroad, creating a diverse and exciting community.

We’re proud to offer a choice of four unique campuses, each providing a distinct environment for aspiring performers.

1. In Birmingham, our campus is nestled in the creative quarter of Digbeth, immersing students in a vibrant, bohemian atmosphere.
2. Brighton offers a unique blend of seaside charm and cutting-edge artistic opportunities in a city known for its inclusive spirit.
3. Our purpose-built Essex campus provides a focused, distraction-free environment perfect for intensive training, with easy access to London.
4. In Manchester, students find themselves at the heart of a cultural powerhouse, surrounded by a thriving theatre scene and rich musical heritage.

Whether you prefer the buzz of a city centre, the charm of a coastal town, or the focus of a dedicated arts campus, Performers College has a location to suit your aspirations and learning style.

With a choice of courses, our training professionals engage with physically and intellectually challenging courses that encourage individuality and independence of mind.

At Performers College, our community is everything. You’ll encounter like-minded people from all over the world, and from multiple disciplines, at our extracurricular activities, events and societies.

All our campuses are vibrant, inclusive spaces, bustling with creative people who have diverse interests and passions – and our Student Events & Community Teams are central to campus life. As well as running a year-round events programme, they empower and enable students to run their own societies, events and activities.

Campus-wide events, such as gigs, parties and networking functions, offer avenues for socialising with peers, staff members and employers. By facilitating interactions with students from other creative courses such as music, film and video games, we help foster opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.

You’ll also have the chance to join our vibrant student societies. These can be related to the performing arts industry – for example, in Manchester, students have created their own dance company – or you can explore activities such as football, songwriting, book club or drum & bass. Students have also started societies like Performers of Colour Society, Women’s Society and LGBTQ+ Society.
