General requirements
- A Bachelor's Honours degree in Music.
- Normally we require a UK 2:1 (Honours) or equivalent in relevant subjects but we will consider a high 2:2 or relevant work experience. Candidates with professional qualifications in an associated area may be considered. Where a ‘high 2:2’ is considered, we would normally define this as reflecting a profile of 57% or above.
- A mark of Upper Second Class Honors (2:1) in the Performance component is required. Candidates will only be offered places following a successful audition.
- All applicants must submit a recent video recording of at least 3 contrasting pieces, totalling 15-20 minutes in length.
- All teaching at Royal Holloway is in English. You will therefore need to have good enough written and spoken English to cope with your studies right from the start.
