    UK London Royal Academy of Music

    “This course ensures a strong foundation in compositional techniques which, over four years
    of study, can be focused to support your individual interests and career ambitions. As a
    composer in the Academy, you are given unrivalled opportunities to have your music played
    and recorded in numerous contexts – and to develop your individual compositional style and
    musical personality within our highly collaborative environment.”

    ● Contemporary Repertoire: ​focusing on 20th and 21st century repertoire, these


    lectures and seminars give you an enhanced awareness of a broad range of musical
    materials and style by listening, analysing and discussing both familiar and unfamiliar
    musical areas.
    ● Orchestration: ​an examination of the development of orchestral technique from early
    Mozart through to today using a wide-range of scores and genres.
    ● Technology: ​by using the Academy's Creative Technology Suite, you will be guided
    through the basics of digital sound recording and gain a thorough understanding of the
    aesthetics of electroacoustic music and the role of technology in creative sound
    manipulation and mixing​.

    Application, Education and curriculum

    Submit portfolio

    Round One: The portfolios (see below) are assessed by the Composition department entry
    panel. This is the equivalent of the first-round live performance given by an instrumental or
    vocal candidate to a panel at the Academy. You will be informed around the beginning of
    November whether you have been selected for interview.

    Round Two: The interviews for the selected candidates will take place during the main
    audition period in London in December, and you should attend at the allocated time. If you
    live outside the UK and are unable to travel to London for interview, please select Video
    Interview in your UCAS Conservatoires application. We will arrange a video link during the
    December audition session. However, if you are applying for transfer to year 2 or year 3 of
    the BMus programme, you will need to attend a live interview in London.
    University/Education

    Universities in the United Kingdom do not have a coherent system of funding or governance,
    and both remain heavily debated. Funding may come from charging students. From ​WW2
    tuition fees in the UK​ were effectively abolished and ​local authorities​ paid ​maintenance
    grants​. The ​Education Act 1962​ formally required this position for all UK residents,​ ​and this
    continued through the expansion of university places recommended by the ​Robbins Report​ of
    1963. However, over the 1980s and 1990s, grants were diminished, requiring students to
    become ever more reliant on their parents' wealth. Further, appointed in 1996, the ​Dearing
    Report​ argued for the introduction of ​tuition fees​ because it said graduates had "improved
    employment prospects and pay."
    British higher education has a strong international reputation, with over half of international
    students citing this as one of the main factors in deciding to study in the UK. London has
    also been ranked as the best city in the world for students. However, a number of universities,
    including Cambridge UCL and the LSE, have warned that Brexit poses a reputational risk for
    UK universities, and there are also fears about the impact of the government’s immigration
    and visa policy

    Economical aspects? Would you need a scholarship and/or is there any possibilities of getting
    a CSN loan from Sweden? Living in e.g. UK? Student-rooms, renting or live-in?

    Describe the different factors that have made an impact as you discover more about the
    education and school. ​Has the education’s past students anything to do with your interest
    today? Now, you do not have to cover all questions.

    The academy has students from over 50 countries, following diverse programmes including
    instrumental performance, conducting, composition, jazz and opera. The Academy has an
    established relationship with King’s College London, particularly the Department of Music,
    whose students receive instrumental tuition at the Academy. In return, many students at the
    Academy take a range of Humanities choices at King’s, and its extended academic
    musicological curriculum.

    Background

    A bit about myself and my interests. Being surrounded by arts and culture as well as
    intellectuals.

    Impacts and Impressions

    I don’t want to support it, I don’t want to live in an english speaking country. Especially not
    after Brexit’s gone through. Plus the disadvantageous economical aspects of attending that
    school make it incredibly hard to justify when compared to many other European schools,
    with more interesting faculty and more relevant culture.
