Foreward

GAMTA is a private institution. This means, that unlike Further Education colleges, the Scottish Government will only pay a portion of your annual fees. You will also be eligible to apply for Student Loan Assistance and Young Student Bursary (depending on your personal circumstances). Most students use this additional money to pay the balance of their fees.

However, unlike Further Education Colleges, we are able to have complete independence over who we take onto the course and furthermore we are the only college in Scotland who present our final year students to an audience of Agents and Casting Directors in a West End London Theatre. Also unlike the FE colleges, the standard we train to is industry level and the quality of this is evident by the number of ex-GAMTA students who are now working within the industry.
