Degree programme specification
Applicants for studies in both specialisations prepare the assigned written papers, whose basis consists of a written analysis of a selected dramatic text and a professional reflection on a production they spectated – the assigned papers are then discussed with the committee. The supplied own original body of work and the level of applicants’ talent are also evaluated. The entrance interview strives to test the applicant’s motivations, their interest in theatre, knowledge of the field and cultural events in general. In entrance examinations, the applicant work with acting students on assigned stage etudes.
