WOW, :lol: Gosh, I'm curious to know who this wonderful agent is who expects to send you to an audition every week. Can you let me know please (pm if you don't want to go public) I don't think its too unreasonable to wait a month and then phone and ask how its going. Hope you get the break you are e...

Yes, drama degrees are generally theory based, but I was talking about an 'acting' degree that describes itself as actor training and is very practical, with a little bit of writing but no exams!

PS forgot what I wanted to say!!

I asked if OU units could be counted towards the UCAS entry requirements and they said 'no' . They count A level, BTEC, Lamda etc but not OU becasuse it is level 4 work and they only count level 3 qualifications!

We have been looking at Acting BA at Uni, which i know doesn't compare with the drama schools you are all thinking of BUT if you can't get in at one of the top Drama schools and you decide to try Uni instead then you do need A levels. We went to an Open Day on Saturday and the Head of Dept explained...

well done everyone

I guess it would depend on what degree he wanted to do and where - as a mature student (as he would be by then) entry criteria are often different to those require of school leavers. if he had a portfolio of appriate evidence to show he has experience/aptitude/knowledge in the area he wants to study...

Yes, looks good but it doesn't tell you how many hours a week it is. Its also £1600 a year so I'd expect quite a few hours for that much money

MJ contract will be for 1 year. If you decide to leave before the year you can do so if you give them notice, however if you then go on to find paid work after leaving them, but before the year is up, you would still be liable to pay MJ their commission ( can't remember but it may be 20%). You also ...

I don't have an account with them but the link works

You have a beautiful and talented daughter. Hope she gets all the work she dreams of.

really miss the railcard, now ds is 17 its costing him so much more to travel! He uses the train daily for college and could get a travel card, but they can only be used on tickets over £10, and before 10am, so he has to pay full fare!

Hi, Saw this post on another group so I hope its valid. the Daily Mail is offering a family and friends railway card free for 2 months, with the possibility of buying one for half price (valid 1 year) at the end of july. You need to go on this page : http://www.familyandfriends-railcard.co.uk/dailym...

I rang UCAS and they told me that if my dd wanted to ring them herself they would be happy to discuss her UCAS application :shock: I told them I wanted to know about funding - so my dd had to call them, give permission for me to discuss her application, and then I had to call them again where they ...

Hardest bit is you phone up UCAS or a UNi and ask a question....but then you feel that to be on the safe side you'd like the answer in writing...just in case you ask someone else and get a different answer!

Sorry, have to disagree with you here Paulears. I'm basing this on conversations with UCAS this last week. The uni funding is for 4 years, not 3, which allows students to be funded for a 3 or 4 year degree, or to start again after a bad first year. If you use 2 years of funding up on a 2 year FdA th...
