OUR HISTORY

 

DSL was founded over 50 years ago. At the time we had one course, the One Year Diploma in Professional Acting. We have since established three highly esteemed Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses. Since 2021, all graduates from our BA programme have received a 1st class or a 2:1 degree. In 2022, the first graduating year of our MFA programme received Pass with Merit or higher.

We work out of our wonderful Victorian home in Ealing as well as nearby modern studios owned by UWL.  We are proud of our reputation as one of the founding members of the Federation of Drama Schools and leaders in professional actor training.

We became part of the University of West London in 2020 and this has enabled to continue to develop new and exciting opportunities for our trainee actors.
