Standard Qualification Requirements


Entry to the BMus (Hons) Music course is by audition for vocalists and instrumentalists, and by interview for composers. As a guide to the minimum standard required for entry, we expect instrumental and vocal candidates to be able to demonstrate musical ability equivalent to that required to gain a Distinction at ABRSM Grade VIII. Composers are required to submit examples of their creative work to discuss at interview. Candidates who are successful at audition/interview are usually expected to gain at least two A-Levels including Music or an equivalent level 3 qualification prior to entry. Equivalent qualifications include Scottish Highers, BTEC National Diploma/Certificate, WBQ, International Baccalaureate, Advanced GNVQ, AVCE or Advanced Diploma (Level 3) and recognised international qualifications. ABRSM music theory qualifications at Grade VI or above may also be considered as an alternative to an A-Level in Music. In any case, the minimum conditions attached to any offer of a place are based on individual applications/auditions, and will often be higher than the minimum requirements stated above.
