Before You Start

You can apply for our MA Music, MA Dramaturgy, MA Musical Direction, MA Musical Theatre Company and MA Musical Theatre Creatives for 2023 entry via this form.

PGDip Music

Please note that as the entry requirements, application process and teaching staff are the same for both the PGDip and MA Music, this application cycle we are asking applicants to apply and audition for the MA Music course.
