Entry requirements

Collarts is a place where music, passion, and industry knowledge collide. We're not just looking for students; we're on the lookout for future creative experts. Our first step towards finding them is via an admissions interview where you get to discuss your experiences, background, and reasons why this field is calling your name.

There are no cookie-cutter moulds to fit into at Collarts. We're all about celebrating diversity, individuality, and the kaleidoscope of creativity that makes each applicant unique.

• Show us what you've got in an audition showcasing two contrasting contemporary pieces or two original songs that scream 'you.' These pieces may be performed solo, but the use of accompanist(s), or a quality backing track, is preferred. Applicants should bring all elements required for their performance (instrument, guitar leads, etc) to the audition. The audition will conclude with a short informal conversation to discuss your experience in the creative industry and areas of interest.
• Take part in a written music theory evaluation to help us assess your theoretical knowledge (note this is not a pass/fail scenario).

Our English requirement is an overall IELTS score of 6.0 or equivalent (with no single band score below 6.0) for all the courses, except Entertainment Journalism, where students are required to have an overall IELTS score of 6.5 (with no single band score below 6.0).

• Results of English subjects in a range of countries’ secondary school certificate, A Level or the International Baccalaureate. Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
