Course summary

About the programme

This programme is for advanced students with exceptional aptitude in their specialism, and strong professional and artistic ambitions. It provides specialist, professional training if you are looking to embark on a national and international career.

The Artist Diploma represents post-Masters progression, and is designed to meet the specialised needs and aspirations of outstanding performance students, and to support them with the competence and sensitivity required.

Assessment and performances

At the end of the two-year programme, performance is assessed in a fully-staged opera production or full-length recital in Milton Court. Repetiteurs will undergo a 60-70 minute assessment split between a public recital and a private mock audition.

You will be involved in performances throughout both years, from platforms to formal and informal recitals and productions. You will also be expected and encouraged to be active outside the School if your visa allows, taking proactive steps to promote a freelance career.
