What our students say
DJ Roy – HNC Acting and Performance
These courses have driven me to be a better performer, I have expanded massively on my knowledge, skills and experience, its safe to say that I know a lot more about the performing arts industry than when I started.
I have always found learning rather difficult but during my studies at UHI I was not afraid to ask for help, I was listened to and supported.
Kate Redman – UAL Awarding Body Level 3 Award and Diploma in Performing and Production Arts
As soppy as it sounds, this course has helped me discover a lot of what I am and can be. I wasn't sure on coming back after quitting before the end of the first year but I couldn't be happier that I decided to brave it and restart the course.
This course has helped me come out of my shell, not only to others but in terms of acting. I have also begun to stop caring what others think and to just be myself.
Grant Dobson – HNC Acting and Performance
Before the course, I’d never read a play in my life. Since the course I know how to unit a script, improvise, devise, run workshops, and many more acting skills (which I won't spoil).
Nothing the lecturers were asking of us was ever confusing, it was all explained amazingly, they taught us well, had a laugh with us and were always there if we needed anything at all times.
