Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music
Each year, the Associated Board awards International Scholarships to enable outstanding musicians to study on courses at one of the four Royal Schools of Music in the UK:
Royal Academy of Music
Royal College of Music
Royal Northern College of Music
Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama
There are normally four postgraduate awards covering one or two-year postgraduate performance, composition or conducting courses at the Royal Schools.
Students must be a national of a country that is not a member of the European Union.
Students will not be eligible to apply if you have been living or studying in the UK for a period of more than one year immediately preceding 31 January in the year of entry to the course or if they have home fee status.
Students should normally be at least 21 years of age by 31 January in the year of entry.
Students will be expected to demonstrate outstanding musical promise and proficiency in your principal study or chosen field.
