Birmingham School of Acting is a drama school located in Birmingham, England, founded in 1936 and formerly known as Birmingham School of Speech & Drama. Since 2005 it has been a faculty of Birmingham City University.[1]
Two higher education courses exist with a range of part time, summer schools and short courses for adults and children. The 3 year BA Hons Acting course and the 1 year Diploma course are both accredited by the National Council for Drama Training [1] and the school itself is a member of the Council of Drama Schools [2].
Previously located at Paradise Place, in September 2006 the BSA moved to a brand-new purpose built facility at Millennium Point on the east side of Birmingham with state of the art facilities.
