Everything you need to know
Do I need a music degree or formal qualifications to apply?
Not necessarily. We look for passion, potential, and the ability to perform at a basic level. Many of our students come from self-taught backgrounds. Formal grades are not always required - an audition or portfolio submission is part of the process and a way to discuss this further.
Can I get student finance?
Yes. This is an approved undergraduate degree, so UK home students are eligible for the full Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan through Student Finance England (or the equivalent in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland).
If you're an international student, please submit the form on this page and our team will be in touch to discuss in more detail.
Which campus is right for me?
All three campuses - London, Leeds, and Liverpool - deliver the same degree but with the same tutors and facilities.
Campus choice usually comes down to where you want to live and build your music career.
