Entry Requirements

Postgraduate Diploma in Music

Entry Requirements

For performers, entry to the programme is by audition at which they are expected to demonstrate a level of practical ability appropriate to advanced professional training.

Composition and creative music technology applicants will be required to submit work for discussion at interview.

For those wishing to study conducting, pianistic ability is considered an advantage at the selection stage.

Normal minimum entrance qualifications also include a degree or equivalent qualification, not necessarily in music.

Candidates with an exceptional level of practical ability may be considered without the full range of formal qualifications.

Applicants for whom English is not a first language are required to demonstrate a level of fluency equivalent to an overall score of IELTS 5.5 or equivalent (with at least 5.0 in all components of reading, writing, listening and speaking).

Applicants who have scored less than IELTS 5.0 in any component but have only missed this by 0.5 IELTS points or equivalent will be required to complete the pre-sessional English language course.
