Its approach articulates Stanislavski's system, with the movement work of Rudolf Laban and the character typology of Carl Jung to produce a 'movement psychology' for the analysis and development of characters.

These approaches are taught as part of the Western theatrical tradition that began with the Greeks, on which the school places great emphasis. When the school was founded, it was the only drama school in the country to have an acting class, and is considered to be the first 'Method' drama school in Britain. Because of its rigour, the school's nickname is "Trauma Center". Like most drama schools, Drama Centre places a particular emphasis on the work of Konstantin Stanislavski, also training students in improvisation through the Yevgeny Vakhtangov and Jacques Lecoq traditions. The school offers a theatre-based training incorporating both modern and classical texts, and also prepares actors for the demands of screen acting, for which it has a two-year postgraduate course. In September 2005, the school launched their MA Acting course (formerly 'European Classical Acting') which includes residencies at both the Vakhtangov Theatre Institute in Moscow and Imalis Center for Ancient Hellenic Theatre in Epidaurus, Greece. The Drama Centre has always had an international outlook and was the first British drama school to introduce some of the great classics of the European repertoire: Spanish, German and French. Today, this tradition continues and is reflected in a broad spectrum of international links, which includes schools in the USA, Russia and China. In March 2020 UAL announced that they were to close the Drama Centre, following an unfavourable review of the Centre's provision for academic development, quality assurance and equal opportunities. Students currently enrolled will complete their training. The Platform Theatre is a receiving and producing theatre situated in the Central Saint Martin's complex at King's Cross.
