If you are interested in Music but do not have the paper qualifications as entry requirements please arrange to meet with Tim Jones/Tim Heeley to assess your suitability for the course. We are aware that some students will not have had the opportunity to complete GCSE Music prior to commencing their A Levels.
Students need to arrange to receive individual instrumental tuition as performance is an essential element of the course. The department may be able to assist in this.
Should an A Level applicant have or be predicted a grade D/3 in either GCSE Maths or English (and at least a grade C/4 in the other subject) then your application will be considered.
