In addition, Swansea University invests in the musical infrastructure supporting scholars through the Strategic Scholar Development Fund, currently including professional ensemble direction.

Who can apply?

Scholarships are available to eligible full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled on taught or research degree programmes lasting at least one academic year.

Applicants should normally have achieved a Merit or Distinction at Grade 8 in their chosen instrument or voice, or be able to demonstrate equivalent experience or proficiency.
