How to Apply
Before submitting your application, please check that we are accepting applications for your principal study at the audition location you are selecting, as listed above. Popular Music applicants and composers can opt for an online audition or an in-person audition at the RNCM in Manchester, UK.
Applicants should follow the standard application process, selecting their preferred audition location within their UCAS application. Those opting for an overseas audition are required to submit an audition recording for shortlisting prior to attending an in-person audition. This recording should follow the requirements outlined on the individual School of Study audition pages.
