What Happens Next?
If your application is successful, you will be invited along to the Academy for a short, informal interview (including an audition for Performance students) where we can discuss your application and finance options. You will also receive a tour of the studios and have any questions you may have, answered by a member of the team.

The interview stage isn’t just for us to get to know about you! It also provides you with the opportunity to find out more about the course and ensure you have chosen the best option for your needs and abilities.

If you are successful at this stage, you will then receive a formal offer of a place on the course. If the College is unable to offer you a place on the course of your choice we will normally be able to advise you of an alternative course or level of study elsewhere.

If you decide to withdraw your application at any time it is important that you inform our admin partners Eternal Balance right away  This will enable us to offer the place being held for you to another applicant.

Information and application procedures for bursaries, grants and student loans will be sent to you together with the enrolment date for your course. It is essential you attend the Academy on this date. You will be enrolled on your course and receive an induction pack.

Remember, if at any point you need assistance or information contact Eternal Balance who will be more than happy to help you.
