For six decades, AMDA has been the catalyst behind numerous successful careers in theatre, film, and television. Our mission is to empower students to become proactive industry professionals, forging their own path to success rather than waiting for opportunities to come their way. As a result, our alumni have graced the world’s stages, starred in countless television shows and films, and captivated audiences worldwide. They are true changemakers, redefining the boundaries of art and performance.

As we step into the New Year, we invite students to embark on a journey to make their dreams a reality – and it all starts with an audition.

Applying to AMDA is a seamless process, tailored to meet the specific requirements of each program. To get started, we welcome students to attend an AMDA Open House, held in both the vibrant cities of New York and Los Angeles!

At our Open Houses, students will get a glimpse of the immersive life of an AMDA student and discover our world-class faculty, who bring unparalleled expertise to our performing arts curriculum. They will have the unique opportunity to engage in insightful Q&A sessions with AMDA alumni and faculty, gain valuable insights into financial aid and scholarship options, and receive personalized guidance throughout the admission process. We eagerly anticipate the chance to connect with students and share the transformative AMDA experience with them.

For a sneak peek into what awaits at our Los Angeles and New York campuses, we invite you to watch our Campus Tour videos!

Be inspired by Virtual Creative Workshops this summer!

We hope you’re having a good summer holiday, after a busy end to the academic year. During the summer and through the Autumn term, we’re continuing our support to students across the globe with our Virtual Creative Workshops.

Open to students, teachers and counsellors, these free online sessions run the first Wednesday of every month. These practical, interactive sessions are perfect for keeping those creative juices flowing and learning new skills. This is also a great opportunity for students to speak with our academic and support staff about any questions they may have about higher education, studying in the UK or AUB.
