An applicant must be able to demonstrate recent work/experience in the relevant sector, which would give them skills and knowledge comparable to applicants with Level 3 qualifications. All such non-standard applicants will be interviewed, set an appropriate piece of work, a 1000-word piece of writing that focuses on a specific genre of music or the work of an important practitioner, and a judgement made considering their academic potential and relevant work/experience. The interview process will review any previous experience that would be considered appropriate, whilst the written task will enable us to assess a level of academic writing and study skills.
