Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Clifton is ending its degree courses.
It announced last month that it would not be accepting undergraduate students from September 2025 although it would continue to offer postgraduate qualifications.
In a statement, it said: “Recent challenges that are having a widespread impact across the sector have combined to make the School’s undergraduate training model financially unsustainable. These include capping of student fees, restrictions to international student visas, cuts in grants, and increases in costs.”
Many stars of stage and screen have attended BOVTS, including Pete Postlethewaite, Olivia Colman, Brian Blessed and Jeremy Irons.
