About UCAS Conservatoires
Most applicants apply through UCAS Conservatoires.
If you need help getting started, you can follow the UCAS Conservatoires step-by-step guide.
Understanding your UCAS Results
Read about UCAS result codes and what they mean here.
Audition results will be displayed in your UCAS Conservatoires Hub as soon as possible at the end of the audition session. For our main auditions in December, results are usually available before Christmas.
The most common offers made by the Academy are 'guaranteed conditional' ('GC'), which means that your offer is guaranteed if you meet certain requirements.
Another result we might give is 'reserve conditional' ('VC'), which means you are in a reserve pool and that we will contact you if we can convert to a GC offer. This will usually be in spring, and no later than the first weeks of the Summer term in most circumstances.
If you are accessing your UCAS Conservatoires Hub on a device with a smaller screen, you may need to click 'see more' to view the full text of your result details.
How do I accept my offer?
See also: Replying to your offers from conservatoires (UCAS)
- Please let us know your decision about your result through UCAS Conservatoires Hub.
- When you have received a result from each of your choices in the Hub, you will be able to respond and UCAS will show you a deadline date.
- If you wish to accept a GC offer, select us as your ‘First Choice’ (shown as ‘1’).
- If you have a VC result, you will also need to accept or decline.
- If you can't see a deadline, that means you are still waiting for a result and cannot respond yet. In this case, all your offers will remain open.
When is the deadline for accepting my offer?
- The deadline for accepting your offer or reserve will be shown in your UCAS Conservatoires Hub when you have received result decisions for all your applications.
- Usually, this will be in early February for offers made in December, but it may be a different date if one or more of your application results reaches UCAS in January or later.
- You won't see a deadline in your UCAS Conservatoires Hub if you are still waiting for results, so you won't be able to respond to offers.
- However, any offers you receive in UCAS will be honoured until the UCAS deadline.
UCAS Conservatoires will automatically decline your offer if you don’t input your decision by the deadline you see in the Hub.
How do I decline an offer?
- If you want to decline our offer, or don’t wish to keep your ‘reserve’ status, please update your decision to ‘Decline’ in UCAS.
- We’d be grateful if you could also email the Admissions team.
What happens after I accept an offer?
- We will send you a confirmation email summarising your study details and with links to useful information.
- You will also receive an email in August with additional study information and a separate email with your professor allocation.
- If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact the Admissions Team or your relevant department.
