Courses

Courses in Australia range from acting to production, from writing to musical theatre. You should not only choose the best course suited to your needs, but also choose according to what other people (teachers, etc.) have recommended for you. The three 'main' colleges for theatre are: NIDA (NSW), WAAPA (WA), and VCA (VIC). However, there are plenty of universities that offer drama courses, as well as courses at TAFEs that are more practical-based, and plenty of technical courses for those techies out there. Don't forget, plenty of theatre companies offer classes, and production companies and TAFEs often provide short course certificates as well. For a good list of courses, you can check out Drama Australia's lists, or check out the branch of Drama Australia for your state. Some of the universities in Melbourne offering theatre courses include: Swinburne Uni (TAFE), Deakin Uni, Monash Uni, RMIT, NMIT.
