Join Us…
Discover RNCM Open Day
Our award-winning Discover RNCM open day for undergraduate and postgraduate study takes place in June each year.
Junior RNCM Open Day
Open days for our Saturday conservatoire usually take place in February and provide a brilliant opportunity to learn about the curriculum and the wonderful opportunities available, and to listen to some of our students in concert.
Offer Holder Days
These take place in January and are designed to give anyone with an offer to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level a more in depth look at RNCM life. Days are School-specific, meaning that they are delivered with principal study in mind, giving you a good opportunity to meet current students and potential classmates, experience lessons and performance activity, and absorb the day-to-day atmosphere. Information about Offer Holder Days are provided later in the year.
Book a Tour
If you’re interested in studying with us but are unable to attend an open day, you’re welcome to book an individual tour. Please contact [email protected] in the first instance and someone from our Student Recruitment Team will be happy to help.
Chat with Admissions
Every Tuesday and Friday during term time, our Admissions team hosts informal one-to-one sessions to give applicants the chance to ask any questions about studying at the RNCM. The sessions cover everything from student visas and English language requirements to fees and finance, living in Manchester, and accommodation.
