The Federation of Drama Schools brings together 20 of the UK’s premier providers of professional vocational performance training delivered through the intensive practice of the conservatoire model. Studying at an FDS school will give you a head first and hands-on practical experience to develop the specialist skills and creative understanding that you need to build and sustain a career in the performing arts. FDS schools are widely recognised by the creative industries, and graduates from our courses can be found throughout the arts as actors, designers, stage managers, writers, directors, producers and every role in between. Whether you want to be on stage, off stage, on-screen, behind the scenes or masterminding the show, our schools offer a range of courses to turn your passion into your profession.
