How can we help?

Your assessment will vary depending on the conservatoire you’re applying to and the course you have chosen to study.

Each conservatoire will let you know in advance what they expect you to do, but check out our assessment advice to find out what it might involve.

As soon as we receive your application, we process it and send you a welcome email advising you to check your progress in your UCAS Hub.

We send your application to your chosen conservatoires who will consider your application.

Your audition will vary depending on the conservatoire you’re applying to and the course you have chosen to study. Each conservatoire will let you know in advance what they expect you to do, but check out our audition advice to find out what it might involve.

The application fee for conservatoires is £27.50 for 2024 entry, and you can make a maximum of six choices.

The application fee for 2025 entry will be £28.50.

There are also assessment fees – we collect most of these, but in some cases you'll need to pay the conservatoire directly. The cost of the assessment fee varies depending on the course and the conservatoire.

Find all the information you need to know about assessment and application fees. 

This happens when something has been missed out or incorrectly added to the qualifications you have listed.

We will always need something to be entered as the awarding organisation. If you don’t know what to put here, simply enter a dash and this will let you continue. If you need to do this, we recommend you let the conservatoire you’re applying to know.

If you have entered a pending qualification, you may not need to enter a result and can leave this box blank. 

Register in the UCAS Hub and complete the registration questions – confirming the year you want to start your studies and that you're interested in ‘conservatoires’.

You’ll then be taken to your UCAS Hub dashboard where you’ll see a tile called ‘Your application’. Simply click ‘Start’ to begin your application.

There’s quite a lot to fill in, but you don’t have to do it all at once.
