The RCM offers a bespoke programme of study that will give you the support, training and knowledge you will need for the working world of music.

Our main Masters programme for performers and composers is designed to fulfill your potential as a musician and can lead to one of three qualifications: MPerf, MComp or MMus.

Alternatively, our MSc in Performance Science is designed for those who wish to gain a scientific understanding of how music is performed, taught, created and perceived, while our MEd is an advanced taught degree with research elements that develops vocational skills by building on music educational experience in the profession, and is aimed at musicians currently engaged in education work.

We also offer a range of Artist Diplomas as the highest level of taught postgraduate study, which are designed for those would like to work intensively on further artistic development beyond Masters level.

Our Research degrees allow students to undertake advanced research in performance, composition, musicology, music education and performance science.

The RCM and other conservatoires from around the world launched the Global Conservatoire in May 2021, allowing students to learn from a global classroom and develop their international networks. Students are able to choose Global Conservatoire modules as part of their programme of study.
