Study abroad

Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience that introduces you to fresh perspectives and new ways of seeing the world as a creative practitioner.

This is why a number of our courses, including American Theatre Arts, Stage Management, and European Theatre Arts, give you the option to complete your degree requirements while studying abroad.

We have partnerships with theatre companies and practitioners all across Europe and America; the style of performance you are drawn towards will define which of our collaborators will best suit your skillset.

All study abroad and work placements are assessed for suitability and are regularly monitored. You will follow in the footsteps of hundreds of our alumni who go on to work professionally with the companies they were matched with.

“My placement at Divaldo Continuo has immersed me in intense and rewarding physical training and broadened my horizons of the possibilities of theatre-making.  Training intensely abroad can feel very out of your comfort zone; however, it is a leap worth taking and something that will shape me significantly as an individual.”
