I’m so proud of myself."- Stephanie View Courses Student Case Study - Katie Why did you decide to study this qualification?I just wanted to study performing arts. I think you know if acting is the right thing for you and it definitely was for me.Why did you choose B&FC?I came to Blackpool as a kid and I loved it so when I found out that they did an acting degree here I looked into it. What I liked was how industry-focused the course was. It didn't feel pressurised or precious like a drama school can be.What have been the benefits of studying here?The smaller class sizes and the fact that you got plenty of one-to-one support was really important to me. I felt like the tutors really cared about you and your future career.What are you hoping to do in the future?I'm already working as a Red Coat at Butlins doing all the shows and presenting too. This course has given me the skills to do that and to work professionally in the industry - I might not have lots of experience but I never feel out of my depth.
