About this program

Griffith's Bachelor of Acting is a highly practical and skill intensive program that will prepare you to forge a life-long career across stage and screen. The program focuses on developing both the individual and the actor through ensemble building, collaborative laboratories, industry-led workshops and public performances.

This boutique program is offered to a small number of high quality performers and is designed around four key pillars: core craft; context; repertoire; and industry engagement. Under the direction of renowned teachers and performers, you will undertake intensive training in acting, voice and speech, singing, movement and dance.

The Bachelor of Acting will unlock your imagination, encourage curiosity and build resilience.

Student Income Support

To be classed as a full-time student, you are required to enrol in a minimum number of credit points each standard study period. The minimum credit points for full-time enrolment in this program is 30 credit points.

Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 are deemed standard study periods. As Trimester 3 is a non-standard study period, continuing students moving from one year to the next will not be required to study during this trimester to be eligible for student income support.

Domestic students who commence in Trimester 3 may be eligible for student income support from the onset of study provided they are enrolled full-time in this study period.

Please refer to the Australian Government website for more details.
