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.

Attendance information

The Bachelor of Acting is offered full time and on-campus at South Bank and at our studios in Woolloongabba.

If you are an International student on a student visa, you must ensure that you enrol in a way that will allow you to complete your enrolment within the expected program duration as stated on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).

Changing programs

If an International student changes to a different program they will be subject to the approved program fee for the trimester in which they are enrolled.

Permanent resident status

If an undergraduate student obtains permanent resident status in Australia after commencing study in a program, and the student can provide evidence of permanent resident status prior to the census date (of the trimester in which they are enrolled), the student will be provided with a domestic fee-paying place.

The student may then apply for a Commonwealth supported place at the next admission period provided that the student satisfies the conditions for transfer from a domestic fee-paying place to a Commonwealth supported place as set out in the Undergraduate Programs Admission Policy.

If a postgraduate student obtains permanent resident status in Australia after commencing study in a program, and the student can provide evidence of permanent resident status prior to the census date (of the trimester in which they are enrolled), the student will automatically be considered for a Commonwealth supported place (subject to availability) or a domestic fee-paying place as applicable for the program.

If a research student obtains permanent resident status in Australia after commencing study in a program, and the student can provide evidence of permanent resident status prior to the census date (of the trimester in which they are enrolled), the student will automatically be considered for a Commonwealth Government Research Training Program (RTP) Fee Offset or a domestic fee-paying place as applicable for the program.

My career opportunities

It is expected that this program will interface with Griffith Film School, Queensland Theatre Company, Brisbane Powerhouse and other local and national performing arts companies. Discussions are also underway with interstate and overseas academies and international providers.

As such, many opportunities will be presented to graduates from the Bachelor of Acting. You will emerge with skills in acting and performance, equipped for a career on stage or on screen, including (but not limited to) theatre, television and film.
