Qualification Requirements

A 2:2 or above honours degree in music from either the UK or abroad (this may be in a specialist field such as popular music, music education or music technology).
We may ask applicants to submit an essay as evidence of strength in written work.
Where an applicant can produce evidence of relevant experiential learning (eg work as a professional performer/composer or substantial experience as a music educator), it may be possible to consider a good honours degree in a subject other than music or advanced study in a conservatoire (which has not led to a degree) in lieu of a music degree.
All non-UK applicants must meet our English language requirements. For this course it is Academic IELTS of 6.5 overall, with at least 6.0 in Writing and 5.5 in each remaining element. Please make sure you read our full guidance about English language requirements, which includes details of other qualifications we'll consider.
