Student Profile

Colin Campbell, Graduated 2014, Dramatherapist in schools, Psychiatric hospitals and with a bereavement charity.

I came on to the course as one of the more mature students looking for a career change, which was never a problem. It was a fantastic time of learning and development for me and I look back on my time on the course fondly. The mixture of experiential and academic learning was challenging and rigorous and has extended my range as an arts practitioner greatly.
