Written requirements
Applicants for the Master of Music (MMus) course need to submit written requirements, please view these on the entry requirements page of the website. There are no academic written requirements for MA or PGCert. All Master of Music candidates are automatically considered for Master of Arts, so if you are also interested in MA study you should only apply for MMus because there will only be one audition.
We assess everyone who applies on time and pays their application and assessment fee.
