We are delighted to share news that NSCD has been ranked as the number 1 Dance Conservatoire in the 2027 Guardian League Tables for Dance & Drama. This news comes during a momentous year in which we have celebrated our graduation ceremony held in our own Riley Theatre, since being granted full degree-awarding powers by the Office for Students (OfS).
