Welfare
![]()

Welfare support has become a natural way of life at the Academy because we recognise that our students will only thrive and develop if they can concentrate as much as possible on the demanding tasks of being a professional musician.
We hope you can take the quality of teaching and events for granted at the Academy, but we believe that there’s something else that marks us out as the world’s most cohesive and dynamic music conservatoire. It’s the time and attention we give to our support services and welfare for our students who come from many different countries and backgrounds.
To make the most of this great diversity, we have a team of teachers, tutors, administrators and other experts who can assist in almost all academic and pastoral circumstances.
If you decide to study at the Academy, you will be able to call upon a range of support networks including:
To help you achieve the best experience possible while you are part of the Academy community
Support for any additional needs, including specific learning difficulties and disabilities, including exam arrangements and specialist tuition
Access to specialists to maximise your chances of enjoying long-term occupational health
Wide-ranging and specialised support on preparing for your professional life – from careers advice to hands-on experience
Advice on finding suitable accommodation
