Master of Music (Composition: Intensive)

Royal Academy of Music, University of London
Postgraduate MMus Full-time 1 Year Music

About this course

Composition at the Academy has an international reputation centred on intensive project-based programmes. All work is rehearsed and recorded in regular workshops with instrumental and vocal students. Many opportunities arise for student compositions to be played by ensembles and orchestras, and commissions are offered to write for a large number of events. For postgraduate composers, the standard programme path is the two calendar-year MMus, though in exceptional cases students can be allowed to take this one calendar-year course. The programme path and length can be discussed at the entrance interview and adjusted as appropriate, you are not tied to the option you choose when you submit your application in UCAS Conservatoires. The deadline for the Academy to receive both your UCAS Conservatoires application and also your portfolio is 2 October, 18:00 UK time.
