For entry to the postgraduate conducting programme, you will
need to apply via UCAS Conservatoires at www.ucas.com/conservatoires.
The UCAS Conservatoires application system is separate from the
main UCAS Postgraduate application system. If you wish to
apply to conservatoires and universities within UCAS, you will need
to register for both services.
There is a one-off fee of £25 to register to use UCAS
Conservatoires and £25 to register for UCAS Undergraduate (for
entry in 2020).
If you wish to begin a new UCAS Conservatoires application, you
will need to register
here, or read
UCAS Conservatoires’ Five Step Application Guide.
If you have already registered with UCAS Conservatoires, you can
continue
or track your application here.
The UCAS Conservatoires Institution Code for the Royal Welsh
College of Music & Drama is R59.
