FAQs
Costs & Funding
At Dance Inc Studio Centre we are the only College in the UK who keep our tuition fees below the student loan amount so that any British student can access funding for our courses without having to make any personal contribution.
For all HNC/D courses the fee is £5,355 per annum. Students can apply for funding through the Student Awards Agency Scotland, SAAS, who cover £1,205 of the fee. Students are also then able to apply for a student loan through the Student Loans Company and/or a bursary to cover the remaining costs of the course, plus be left over with funds to go towards travel and living costs.
All fees can either be paid at the start of our term year or on a monthly basis.
Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding funding and fees if you are concerned or worried about how to access the funds to pay for our courses. We will help you and advise you in every way we can to ensure a stress free process.
We will also be offering scholarship opportunities for our courses which will be detailed at the time of auditions.
Application Process
You will need to complete an online application form on the ‘Apply Now’ page.
If you are applying for the HND course you must have the mandatory HNC units or equivalent alternatives. Please detail this in the Qualifications section of the application even if you are waiting on the results of the current course that you are studying.
Following a successful application, you will be invited to attend an audition to partake in a variety of classes in different styles. Alternatively, if you are unable to attend the date you are given, other options may be available.
After your audition, we will then make you an offer of a place or suggest how you can develop your skills further to meet the required standard. We urge you to complete your application as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment as our courses can be filled very quickly.
Audition
For all of our undergraduate courses you will need to attend an audition located at our facilities which allows you to meet some of our faculty and get a feel for the facilities, allowing you to ask any questions you may have. We understand there may be circumstances where you may not be able to attend an in-house audition, if so please contact us and we can facilitate your needs.
