The University of Melbourne is a truly unique environment. We’re creating a range of sustainable facilities and precincts to enable ground-breaking discoveries, now and into the future.

Our historic Parkville campus is at the heart of three globally recognised innovation precincts. Six specialist campuses across Victoria provide immersive education in life sciences and agriculture.

Where our researchers are working on humanity’s most critical problems and complex questions facing the world. The University’s research infrastructure network supports innovation in Australia and internationally.

Our diverse museums and galleries – from the Ian Potter Museum of Art to the new Science Gallery Melbourne – provide access to the knowledge, research and culture curated at the University.

Living on-campus means you can immerse yourself in our University community. Accommodation at Melbourne varies from apartment-style halls of residence to traditional college accommodation.

It all begins with the seed of an idea. Imagine what we can do, together. Find out how we’re connecting with industry and government.

Melbourne Connect brings leading researchers, investors, start-ups, students and artists together in a new purpose-built innovation precinct.

A major urban renewal project is set to become the University’s newest precinct. It’s a globally connected hub where industry, government and community will come together to transform education, engineering and design innovation.

The University of Melbourne is working with Indigenous, state and local government partners to create a centre for excellence in education, wellbeing, Indigenous business and culture.

The online Monologue Workshop begins with a 20 minute lecture which introduces a number of key concepts and ideas that we subsequently use to explore monologues presented by workshop participants.

In a packed 60-minute presentation Philip Hayden delivers essential insights into how to prepare for an audition, what an audition actually is and how to make every audition a successful one.

Award winning actors tell us why they wouldn't be where they are without Howard Fine and his training.

The philosophy behind the teaching is fantastic and the staff were beyond supportive, honest, genuine and caring.

I recommend them to any and all that wish to progress/develop their craft and can’t thank the Staff enough.

You get to meet and work with so many amazing people, learn so much about the arts industry and who you are as a person as well.

I wouldn't even recognise myself from where I was when I began the course. I now feel comfortable knowing what to expect and work on for auditions, and what's expected of me within the industry and on set.

Thank you so much to everyone at the studio who taught me so much during the full time course.

I grew so much from training here, gaining confidence, understanding and skills I’ve taken into the industry.

I would recommend the studio to anyone who’s serious about their craft and open to exploring their vulnerability and their strength in a safe and supportive environment.

Howard Fine is not just an acting school it is a community where you can thrive in your craft. The training builds you to be a self sufficient actor that is so important to build a sustainable, professional career. I considered myself a HF ‘stalker’ for a while because I audited the masterclasses but did not participate. Now that I’m in the part time course, I’m still a stalker… but at least I’m participating now :)

The Full time course at HFAS didn’t just make me a better actor, it made me a better human being. Since graduating I’ve moved overseas to London to study physical theatre with Frantic Assembly Theatre Company, and now I’m living and working as an actor in London. Without the training and confidence that the full time program gave me I’d have never been able to do the amazing things I’m doing now!

“I'm incredibly grateful for studying with the Howard Fine studio in Australia. The studio is the perfect training ground to get you started or to enhance your current skill set. It's important to feel safe both personally and professionally in the industry, and the faculty make sure that standard is always upheld.”

“For me Studying with Howard Fine is the hardest way to study, because there are no shortcuts. His teachings don't allow yourself as an actor to cheat or fake anything. To do his 8 steps, is the only way I work now, as it's a clear and thorough process to get to the crux of the character and material. It's hard, but the most honest way to work on your craft, cos if it was easy, everyone would do it.”

“Doing the full time program at HFAS has changed the trajectory of my life, and I can't recommend it highly enough...”

“…I have the upmost love and respect for the souls of the studio, and love the role they've played in my acting career.”

“This the most down to earth acting school I have come across. It is about the work, not about the ego of the school or the people in it. Thank you to all the staff, teachers and students, for reminding me to see this life as a journey, we are never finished. I completed the full time program hungry to grow, and after reaching extreme depths within myself throughout the course, I know I am capable of whatever I set my mind to.”

“Before coming to this Studio I often flunked auditions…because my nerves got the better of me…This teaching has taught me to trust myself.”
