Postgraduate Studentships - Search for funding opportunities.
The RNCM’s specialised Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) is ideal for performers and composers who have a Master’s-level qualification and wish to perfect their craft with us.
Designed to enhance your musical experience, the programme offers exceptional Principal Study and group tuition, complemented by a flexible choice of modules that reflect the dynamic and evolving music industry. You’ll also benefit from a range of performance and professional development opportunities to further enhance your creative and technical skills and employability.
There are two routes:
Solo Performance (including Conducting) focuses on training in advanced-level techniques, styles and practices of musical performance or conducting, and the development of critical and reflective approaches to relevant repertoire.
Composition builds on skills such as composition craft, technique, and creative conception, and explores areas including interpretative and reflective skills, approaches to different repertoire, and enhanced presentation and communication.
PGDip applicants must hold an MMus or equivalent.
