Applications and Auditions

This webinar explains the process and deadlines to make an application to the Academy. We’ll also discuss auditions and interviews and when to expect your decision from the Academy.

Financing Your Studies

In this webinar we’ll outline various routes to raising the money needed to study at the Academy. We’ll also explain how scholarships and bursaries are awarded at the Academy.

Open Academy

Open Academy is the Royal Academy of Music’s learning, participation and community initiative. Every year, we make music with around 6,000 people beyond our enrolled students and staff, in a variety of settings including schools, hospitals, care settings, special schools and day centres. Our projects enable students to make connections with people from all walks of life, and to reflect upon the contribution musicians can make to society through their artistry.

Artist Development

In this webinar, we discussed how we make sure that you get the tools you need during your time at the Academy, so that by the time you leave, you are a versatile, career-savvy and empowered artist, ready to forge the career you want.

Students’ Union

This session introduces our current Students' Union Team, gives insight into what we do, discusses how we enhance the student experience and offers a preview of what you can look forward to if you choose to study at the Academy! Find out more about the societies on offer, take a look into our student support network and learn how you could make money while you're at the Academy. We also covered topics such as facilities, student discounts and events.
