Course content
The Royal College of Music's Artist Diploma (ArtDip) Programmes represent the highest level of taught postgraduate study. They are aimed at musicians who want to hone their skills by working intensively on particular areas of their artistic development. Places on our Artist Diploma programmes are only offered to students who have already demonstrated a high level of ability at masters level.
All our Artist Diplomas focus on one-to-one provision and practical project work, tailored to your particular career aspirations.
Final examination for the Artist Diploma in Performance takes the form of a concert, recital engagement or concerto performance.
Royal College of Music courses are internationally recognised as full degree courses with succesful students awarded their qualifications under the RCM's Royal Charter.
Fees and funding
The RCM is able to support many students with scholarships thanks to the generosity of charitable trusts, companies, businesses, individual members of the public and legacies.
Any student who auditions in person for a place at the RCM will automatically be considered for a scholarship or study award. Composers who audition by video interview will also be considered.
There is no separate application process.
Scholarships are awarded purely on merit based on performance at audition or the strength of portfolio and interview for composers.
