Most offers made by the Royal College of Music are 'guaranteed conditional'. This means there are certain conditions, usually relating to academic qualifications and English language, that you must meet.
Your offer conditions are displayed on the UCAS Hub.
For Doctoral students, this information will be included in your offer letter.
Competition for places has been very strong this year and we already have several very talented applicants on our reserve list. If you haven’t accepted your offer by the deadline you run the risk of losing your place. If you think that you will not be able to meet the deadline for accepting our offer please contact our Admissions team and we will assist you.
How to accept your offer
You should accept your offer electronically through UCAS Conservatoires before the relevant deadline. You will need to click on the RCM choice to view. When you have accepted your offer, you will normally see a status indicating that the RCM is waiting for you to send evidence to show that you meet the offer conditions. This is normally evidence of your qualifications, English language evidence or information to confirm any other offer conditions. Once you have provided this, your offer status will become 'Guaranteed Unconditional'.
If one of your conditions of study relates to English language, you must show us that you have the required level of English. You will need to send us your IELTS certificate (or accepted equivalent) by 1 May 2025. It is important that you make arrangements early enough.
In accepting your offer of a place, you also agree to the Royal College of Music’s terms and conditions.
It is your responsibility to ensure you understand our terms and conditions. In particular, you should familiarise yourself with the various sanctions the RCM may use in case of misconduct (academic and personal).
