Overview

The Artist Diploma programme from Guildhall School of Music & Drama provides specialist, professional training if you are looking to embark on a national and international career.

The Artist Diploma represents post-Masters progression, and is designed to meet the specialised needs and aspirations of outstanding performance students, and to support them with the competence and sensitivity required.

Key Facts

The assessment consists of performances supported by a submission log of activities and an interview. At the end of the two years, these performances comprise a full-length recital in Milton Court or a fully-staged opera production (Opera Studies, voice). The assessment of repetiteurs is split between a recital and a mock audition.

You will be involved in performances throughout both years, from platforms to formal and informal recitals and productions. You will also be expected and encouraged to be active outside the School if your visa allows, taking proactive steps to promote a freelance career.
