　　TOEFL iBT - Overall 88.

　　A good honours degree in music from either the UK or abroad (this may be in a specialist field such as popular music, performance or music technology). Typical entry qualifications are an honours degree in music at 2.2 or above (2.1 preferred).

　　We will ask applicants to submit an online portfolio of a good recording of two contrasting performances on Soundcloud or Youtube.
