Advanced Artist Diploma (Level 8)

The Level 8 Advanced Artist Diploma is a 12 month programme intended for performers, composers and producers pursuing careers as professional artists.

With an established track record of high level artistic practice, students on the AAD programme will develop their skills, critical awareness, and artistic identity through immersive self-directed study and engagement with diverse audiences.

Programme Overview

The programme centres on an artistic research project, devised by the student with support from a principal study tutor and artistic supervisor. The programme is assessed through a final portfolio submission, which may take the form of a recital, a recording, or a set of compositions.
