Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company, founded in 2010 enters its tenth year in 2020, and to mark this milestone, the highly acclaimed School is validating its Two-Year actor training programme in partnership with TEF Gold Standard Falmouth University - to offer an accelerated, 2-year degree course. The accelerated BA (Hons) Acting degree* is auditioning now for entry in September 2020.
Successful candidates will now be eligible for access to student finance, widening accessibility to their 2-year actor training course, with Fourth Monkey’s unique training philosophy of creating actors, theatre makers, movers and collaborators only being emboldened by this partnership. Whilst other drama schools find their pedagogy limited or modified to accommodate University partner demands, Fourth Monkey has sought and found a partner who celebrate the vocational and practical focus of the successful training school and charity organisation has offered since conception in 2010.
With an alumni employment rate of 84% across all media, from stage to TV and film to radio, Fourth Monkey’s graduates can be seen plying their trade throughout the world.
