Requirements
Entry requirements
A good honours degree in music from either the UK or abroad (this may be in a specialist field such as popular music, performance or music technology). Typical entry qualifications are an honours degree in music at 2.2 or above (2.1 preferred). We will ask applicants to submit a CD or DVD of two contrasting performances, and may ask for the submission of relevant written work. Where an applicant can produce evidence of relevant experiential learning (eg work as a professional performer, composer or producer), it may be possible to consider a good honours degree in a subject other than music or advanced study in a conservatoire (which has not led to a degree) in lieu of a music degree. All non-UK applicants must meet our English language requirement, which is Academic IELTS of 6.5 overall, with no element below 5.5.
Language qualifications
IELTS: 6.5 (no element below 5.5)
Notice: This is the default IELTS grade for Kingston University.
