We welcome proficient performers of music in all styles, with or without previous formal music education. Applicants will be required to show proficiency in their own music style(s) at audition.

You will also study a number of vocational modules that will support you in your development of a fulfilling career.

As a student, you will be based at the world-class Irish World Academy, with its cutting-edge performance and rehearsal spaces, and state-of-the-art technological infrastructure. The co-operative education period (Year 3, Semester 1) allows you to construct your own work-experience, providing valuable experience of the opportunities open to you when you graduate. The programme prepares you for many different career paths in areas including professional performance, composition, academia, arts curation and management, media, archive work, music production, and combinations of these.
