LAMDA is top 10 drama school in 2026 Complete University Guide

On 12 June, the Complete University Guide published its 2026 university league tables and LAMDA is thrilled to be included as a top 10 school for the performing arts.

The Complete University Guide is a nationally recognised independent organisation that ranks UK universities across 74 subject areas, helping students make informed decisions about where they pursue their higher education.

The Performing Arts Table, previously known as the Arts, Drama & Music Table, lists institutions that specialise in one of the following areas: cinematics and photography, performing arts, music, drama, and dance.

LAMDA was ranked sixth in the Performing Arts Table, with a student satisfaction score of 85% and an overall score of 90%.

This is the first time that LAMDA has been included in this specialist performing arts league table. It's a privilege to be recognised by The Complete University Guide and to be included alongside our peers in the conservatoire sector, as LAMDA places a very high importance on delivering an exceptional student experience.
