Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
......
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
But while you're here, Mia, I wanted to ask you about the year abroad option. Would you recommend doing that?
Yes, definitely. It's a fantastic chance to study in another country for a year.
I think I'd like to do it, but it looks very competitive — there's only a limited number of places.
Yes, so next year when you are in the second year of the course, you need to work really hard in all your theatre studies modules.
Only students with good marks get places — you have to prove that you know our subject really well.
Right.
So how did you choose where to go?
Well, I decided I wanted a programme that would fit in with what I wanted to do after I graduate, so I looked for a university with emphasis on acting rather than directing for example. It depends on you.
Then about six months before you go, you have to email the scheme coordinator with your top three choices.
I had a friend who missed the deadline and didn't get her first choice so you do need to get a move on at that stage. You'll find that certain places are very popular with everyone.
