Wimbledon College of Arts is dedicated to the study of stage and screen performance
The College has a long tradition of providing world class teaching in technical arts for theatre, film and television.
Our courses include acting, costume, digital production, theatre design and puppetry.
We believe in a non-hierarchical and inclusive approach to performance. That means we see all elements as equal partners. Whether it be acting, directing, writing or designing.
Space to perform
Our facilities include specialist workshops, studios and an on-site professional theatre. In 2023 we completed a multimillion-pound investment programme to transform Wimbledon College of Arts into a world-leading centre for performance. These improvements will enable us to nurture performance talent of the future.
A place to grow
Collaborative performance is a key part of the experience at Wimbledon. We design many of our course projects with that in mind. Students often work in teams to produce theatre, performance and other live events. This reflects working practices within the industry.
We want to develop your creativity, technical ability and professionalism. It is these qualities that enable many of our graduates to go on to have successful careers. Our alumni include costume designer Lorna Mugan, production designer Sarah Greenwood and set designers Simon Costin and Soutra Gilmour.
Building networks
Wimbledon College of Arts has well established industry links. These include 2 of the United Kingdom's leading theatres: the National and the Lyric. Many of our staff are practicing professionals in their field. These connections allow students to gain valuable work experience.
We have a variety of international partnerships, projects and exchanges. These provide opportunities for our students and staff to broaden perspectives and knowledge.
