Admission requirements

60+
Entrance is subject to application (via UCAS Conservatoires) and recorded auditions (via Embark). 
Once you have completed your application through UCAS Conservatoires, please provide us with the following information: 
Transcripts of your studies to date  An overview / programme specification of the programme you are currently enrolled on.  An indication of how long you wish to study with us (one term or a complete year).  Confirmation from your home institution that they approve your application to Trinity Laban and the number of credits they require; this can be an email from your International Office to [email protected].  English language competency requirements also apply, if you are not studying in a majority English speaking country.  Once you have completed the UCAS Conservatoires application, you should proceed to Embark to submit your video recording. Where possible, the panel will prefer to see a video recording of your speech and performance instead of listening to an audio recording. There should be two elements to your recording 1) a speech and 2) a performance. 
For the speech, you should record a passage of yourself speaking in English. First identify yourself by name and then say something about your musical background and the training you have had, your musical ambitions and your reasons for applying for the programme of study.
For the performance, you should record two to three works (or extracts). Please note that the panel will wish to have some idea of the range of your ability, so provide works that show contrasts of musical style and instrumental / vocal technique. Your performance must not be longer than 15 minutes in total. You can upload multiple files for this. For more information about recorded auditions, please refer to this link.
English language requirements (if applicable) International students whose first language is not English will be required to take an English Language Assessment prior to enrolment. We accept IELTS Band 6 or equivalent. You can find more information here. If you require a Student visa to study in the UK, you may need a Secure English Language Test (SELT). More information can be found at gov.uk. 
 Please contact Admissions ([email protected]) if you have any queries.
