27 June 2025

LAMDA is thrilled to share the news that it has earned a top spot in The Hollywood Reporter’s 2025 list of the world’s top 25 drama schools, ranking 6th globally. Known for its rigorous training and prestigious alumni, LAMDA’s placement on the list underscores its reputation as a leading school for the performing arts.

The Hollywood Reporter’s annual ranking, which evaluates drama schools based on academic excellence, faculty, facilities and career outcomes, highlights LAMDA’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of actors, directors and technicians.

In its article, The Hollywood Reporter touched upon LAMDA's status as the oldest drama school in the UK, its blend of classical and contemporary training and its state-of-the-art virtual production studio spaces. LAMDA's exceptional 2024 National Student Survey results were also mentioned as well as its expansion into the US in January of this year, when LAMDA opened new studio facilities in New York City.

LAMDA’s position reflects its dedication to offering world-class training in the heart of London, preparing students for successful careers in the creative industries.
