How to fill in an application
This is the first stage – completing and submitting your application by the relevant application deadline.
- Check which application deadline you need to meet – most music courses have a deadline in October, while most undergraduate dance, drama or musical theatre courses are in January – but there are some exceptions and variations. There’s a late deadline in August, but applications are competitive, so applying on time gives you more chance of getting a place on a course you want.
