Rose Bruford College has a long association with Stephen F Austin State University in Texas. Students from the ATA programme study for a period of time; Texan students join the ETA programme in exchange. A similar arrangement exists with St Mary’s University, Minnesota, while our DMTA and postgraduate students undertake placements at Centre College, Kentucky and at its neighbouring professional theatres. Our attendance at the annual South Eastern Theatre Conference (SETC) – the US’s largest gathering of drama institutions – also means we are ever alert to the possibility of creating further opportunities for study in America.
