Student Case Study - Kerrie & Tashi
"We are Kerrie and Tashi, we met in Blackpool doing the Musical Theatre BA(Hons) course back in 2009, and loved our three years studying there. The course felt incredibly personal, with an experienced teaching team that took time to understand each student's unique strengths. We always felt nurtured in the programme but also challenged to take creative risks and grow as performers. It gave us a really solid understanding of the industry!"
