LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) is a world-class drama school, providing exceptional vocational training for students of promise in the dramatic arts. We prepare actors, directors, designers, stage managers and technicians for sustainable careers in the industry. You can see our graduates in the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare’s Globe, London’s West End and Hollywood, as well as on the BBC, HBO and Broadway. We also offer a comprehensive range of short courses to suit students of all abilities.

Through LAMDA Examinations, the UK’s leading statutory awarding body for speech and drama, we engage people of all ages and aspirations in our work – helping over 83,000 candidates worldwide to develop communication skills, creativity and a lifelong appreciation of the spoken word.

The dramatic arts are a combination of craft, talent and inspiration. For 150 years, LAMDA has been teaching the craft, nurturing talent and inspiring artists across the globe.
