COMBINED DEGREE
Experience more by studying two pathways together.
You can study: Classical Music in combination with Jazz, Popular Music or Production. Jazz in combination with Classical Music, Popular Music or Production. Popular Music in combination with Classical Music, Jazz, or Production. Production in combination with Classical Music, Jazz or Popular Music.
Our combined degrees will broaden your musical horizons. You will study with a wider range of expert staff, work with an even more diverse group of students and find opportunities for collaboration across both of your specialisms. You might be a classical soloist who wants to play in a pop band, a jazz musician who loves orchestral performance, a pop instrumentalist who will produce their own album, or a producer who wants to be part of a jazz ensemble. If you’re confident working across two genres and want to develop your skills in more than one subject, you can split your specialist study across two of our pathways in Classical, Jazz, Popular and Production. We are the only UK conservatoire to offer this type of combined degree, where throughout all three years you will take Specialist Study modules in your first pathway and Specialist Group Study in your second.
Additional entry requirements You will need to demonstrate through audition that you are of the required ABRSM performance standard for your specialist study instrument/voice in both pathways.

We have strong links with industry, with many opportunities to network and gain valuable work experience. Our alumni have gone on to careers in the film music industry, including working with Hans Zimmer at his Bleeding Fingers studio in Hollywood.
