Bachelor of Performing Arts (Acting)

This course is where heritage meets innovation – drawing on the rich legacy of Theatre Nepean and ACA. Together we have a track record of producing celebrated performers, including Hugh Jackman, Joel Edgerton, Celeste Barber, David Wenham, Patrick Brammall, Harriet Dyer, and Yvonne Strahovski, the program blends a practical training model with theoretical knowledge. You’ll develop skills in acting technique, voice, movement and screen production through 20 core subjects, complemented by four electives to broaden your creative and professional expertise.

"The partnership between Actors Centre Australia and Western Sydney University is a game changer for the Australian arts education sector. I am an alumnus of Actors Centre, and both of these institutions are powerhouses, but together, they’re going to create an educational environment for students to thrive, and they are going to enter the industry way above industry standards."

– Hugh Jackman, ACA Patron & Alumnus
