Applying for Drama School/ Conservatoires The application process for Drama Schools is largely separate to UCAS. Some of them have migrated across to UCAS, but they are mainly independent. Once you have decided which schools you would like to apply, the application forms can be found online. There is usually an audition fee which is non- refundable. You will go through an audition process, sometimes with a workshop or group task and most schools have call back auditions. The process is similar for technical or design applicants, but will consist of a workshop and interview rather than an audition.
