Application submission deadlines:
- Applications for in-person auditions: 30 March 2027 at 13:00 (BST).
- Applications for video auditions: 13 August 2027 at 13:00 (BST)*
*This deadline is for those applying to audition fully by video only (which you must request). If you are applying to audition in-person you need to apply by 30 March 2027.
Although video auditions are open until 13 August, it is best to audition as early as possible. This is due to a majority of the limited spaces on the degree course being offered after the in-person auditions in April and if you are an overseas student, to give yourself enough time to secure finance, accommodation, and a visa.
