English language proficiency

The conservatoires that applicants choose will tell them what standard of English, both written and spoken, they need in order to take part in lectures, tutorials and seminars. If English is not their first language, most conservatoires will want them to have a qualification in English or to take a specified test in English. This will show the conservatoire that they will be able to cope with the course and their studies. To find out which English language proficiency test is acceptable, applicants should contact the admissions office or international office for each conservatoire that they wish to apply to.
