Work Placements
The Colleges’ undergraduate and post graduate students, particularly in the areas of design and production, undertake work placements. The placements form an important link between the college and the industry.

Continuing Professional Development
Theatre Futures throughout the year, offers short courses, seminars and events to its members. Developing new skills, sharing professional practice and master classes are the main activities. Short courses are often provided in response to requests from particular sectors of the industry and other courses in response to national and broad industrial agendas.

Rehearsal Facilities
The College has comprehensive modern rehearsal facilities which can provide companies with the opportunity to integrate the more technical aspects of a production as rehearsals progress. Each rehearsal room has ICT facilities that can provide high quality video conferencing, enabling directors and production managers to have more direct contact with producers and backers.

Recording Studios
Two fully equipped recording studios provide facilities for off line and live recording and editing. Off line editing suites enable the user to make fully use of the “live” studios therefore not compromising post production work.
