Referees and references

CUKAS applicants need to select two referees who know them well enough to comment on their suitability for their chosen courses. They must confirm that people chosen as referees agree to provide references before naming them on their applications. The conservatoires will not accept references from family, other relatives or friends.

Applicants must choose one referee who can comment on their academic ability and another who can write about their musical ability.
