English Drama
The next English Drama course will be a short course of 3 months starting on January 4th instead of the full 9-month course.
Now boasting more than 25 successful years under the leadership of internationally renowned theatre educator Andrew Fearn, this is the only full-time drama course in Finland to operate totally in English and is unparalleled. Famous for its student-centred approach, this unique course offers a solid foundation for those keen to improve their chance of finding entry to an English-speaking drama school or university.

The 9-month course combines theoretical studies and practical work in line with the basic elements demanded by theatre schools and academies in Great Britain. Students are assessed on all of their work and on completion of the course are awarded a certificate which reflects their efforts and the diversity of their studies.
