The information below is relevant for 2023 entry .
Academy auditions are held at host venues in New York and São Paulo in February or March (dates to be confirmed) for most of our courses. However, some studies are only auditioned in London or by video - these are shown in the list below:
- Opera
- Jazz
- Conducting
- Choral Conducting
- Répétiteur
- Composition
- Research degrees
Musical Theatre auditions are only available in London and New York, or by video.
It may not be possible to audition candidates for Harp, Percussion, Organ or Historical Performance at our host venues. Please email admissions@ram.ac.uk or contact your local audition coordinator before completing your UCAS Conservatoires application. Don’t worry, though, video auditions are another option for these subjects.
Details of how to apply and what to perform (or present if you are a composer) can be found in the in the 'Audition Requirements' area of the relevant Department pages, and on our video auditions page.
If you do not have an EEA or Swiss passport you will probably need a visitor visa to attend an audition in London.
We’re happy to help and can provide an invitation letter to support your application. Please contact admissions@ram.ac.uk if you are invited by the Head of Department and if you wish to travel to the Academy. All applicants will be considered for a scholarship award, irrespective of whether or not they are invited to an online interview or live audition.
Unfortunately, we’re not able to support visa applications for audition venues outside the UK.
