About the course

Already a strong musical performer, but looking to further your qualifications towards a career in performance and/or teaching? This course is ideal if you're looking to further your performance skills in the intellectual and creative environment of a university, rather than a conservatoire.

You will be able to study individually either with our excellent Royal Holloway-affiliated performance teachers, or an external teacher of your choice, subject to agreement with the Music department.

You will work towards a final recital performance, with the support of group seminars and individual tuition on your instrument or voice. You'll also be able to take two courses from the MMus Advanced Musical Studies syllabus.

Entry Requirements

2:1 degree

A Bachelor's Honours degree in Music.

Normally UK 2:1(Honours) or equivalent in Music, with a 2:1 mark in the Performance component but we will consider high 2:2 or relevant industry experience. Candidates will only be offered places following audition. Alternatives will not normally apply, however the department welcomes all enquiries. Where a ‘high 2:2’ is considered, we would normally define this as reflecting a profile of 57% or above.
