Access, Admission and Enrolment:
There are three ways of access to the Postgraduate Diploma in Instrumental Performance programme:
- Accreditation of having completed a Higher Degree in Performance or equivalent.
- Accreditation of having completed an official Master’s Degree in Performance or equivalent.
- In the case of not being in possession of an official qualification, the candidate must pass a performance test that meets the requirements of length, difficulty and performance equivalent to a higher degree level.
Regardless of access, the candidate must first be admitted by the instrument tutor. In the case of new students, they must either book an individual lesson with the desired tutor or send a link to an audio-visual recording and subsequent assessment interview. The final admission of the student to the Postgraduate Diploma in Performance is at the discretion of the tutor.
