There is nothing like experiencing our vibrant building, talking to our staff and students and above all, hearing our music, to help you decide if this is the right place for you.
We do not hold Open Days in the traditional sense, because we are open.
During the autumn term, we have curated a list of Discovery Events, where you will gain an insight into the area of study which interests you. These events provide enhanced opportunities to visit the Academy and see performances, lessons and masterclasses. You will also meet staff and students, who will be able to tell you more about studying here.
We look forward to welcoming you to our home on Marylebone Road soon.
We also have hundreds of concerts, masterclasses and recitals, which are open to the public. Over 75% of these events are free to attend.
