UK students should normally hold an honours degree, ideally but not necessarily in Music. Non-UK students should hold a Bachelor's degree or a similar degree-equivalent diploma, ideally but not necessarily in Music. Experimental Performance applicants are required to submit a portfolio presented as one single pdf document. This portfolio should show us all the aspects of your artistic practice that you find important. The pdf document can contain descriptive or artistic text and images but also links to other websites (for example of video/audio recordings of your work). The nature of the work submitted, and its presentation, is up to you; however, please bear in mind that we need to clearly understand your personal approach to creating performances and making art. Make thoughtful decisions about specific elements of your work that you absolutely want us to see, for example by highlighting important sections through smart video editing or giving us timecodes so that we can easily locate essential moments within the documentation. The portfolio also must contain a motivational statement, explaining your reasons for applying. This can be delivered in the form of written text (max one side of A4) or via a link to a video or audio recording (or equivalent). Applicants for all other Principal Study areas will be auditioned. For full audition requirements and audition advice, please visit the Music Auditions section of the Conservatoire website.
