Course Overview

This course will allow you to develop as a performer, improve your musical knowledge and gain critical, research and communication skills.

Graduates have pursued a range of careers in orchestral playing, solo performance, instrumental teaching, and arts administration. Several have also pursued further study at conservatoires in the UK and abroad, or research degrees at Leeds and other institutions. You could also go on to study at PhD level.

We also offer additional support as you develop your career plans: the School of Music has an Alumni Mentoring Network, where students can be supported by past students as they start to plan their next steps.

General Eligibility

A bachelor's degree with a 2:1 (Hons) in music or a related subject.

We may also consider relevant professional experience instead of formal musical qualifications if you can demonstrate a good level of musical understanding or practical experience when you apply.
