Our undergraduate Bachelor of Music (BMus) programme is a flexible four-year degree with a focus on principal study, alongside faculty activities and a mix of core and optional courses.
Learning & teaching
Our undergraduate programme is designed to be flexible, especially in years 3 and 4, ensuring you can undertake study directly relevant to your needs and aspirations. A variety of options helps every student develop their interests during their time at the RCM.
How to apply
Applications for entry in September 2022 will open on 15 July 2021. The application deadline is 1 October 2021. We are hoping to be able to audition at our overseas audition venues which may have later deadlines, but this is being reviewed.
Late applications may be considered for some principal studies. Please contact admissions@rcm.ac.uk before submitting a late application.
All applicants (including international applicants) should apply online through the UCAS Conservatoires admissions service, where you can apply simultaneously to all the institutions that are members of Conservatoires UK. You can track your application, find out when your audition is and get the results of your audition all on UCAS Conservatoires. You can also confirm your decisions online.
Applicants interested in joint principal study are reminded to submit only one application. If you submit two applications you will be charged twice.
