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.
Are these courses only available in London?
Our postgraduate programmes are primarily based at our London campuses. If you're based in Leeds or Liverpool, get in touch and we'll let you know what's currently available near you.
Can I study part-time?
Yes. Masters programmes can be studied over two years part-time - making them more manageable alongside existing professional commitments.
Can I get student finance?
Yes. Eligible UK students can access a postgraduate Masters loan, paid directly to you in instalments.
Unlike undergraduate loans, this can be used for both fees and living costs. Part-time students receive the loan split over two years.
