UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA MUSIC CENTRE AWARD UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE

Application Deadline: 11am on Thursday 3 October 2024.

LOCATION: United Kingdom

UEA Music Centre awards a number of Music Centre Awards every year, to new and current students who show exceptional musical achievement and commitment. The awards are for musicians of any instrument or voice and any style or tradition – including different national traditions. They are intended to encourage recipients to develop their musical and leadership skills and contribute significantly to music at UEA.

ELIGIBILITY:

Type of Course: Undergraduate, Postgraduate Taught, Postgraduate Research, MBA, PGCE and Year Abroad

Criteria: UK Fees, International Fees

No qualifications need to have been taken. A high standard of performance can be demonstrated at audition. In the case of a musician performing in a style or tradition without a formal method of assessment this is particularly important. For those used to the graded exam system it may be useful to say that a performing standard of Grade 8 and above is a benchmark. Neither Grade 8 nor any other exam need either have been taken or passed.

Please note that if you currently have a UEA Music Scholarship, you are not eligible for a UEA Music Centre Award.

BENEFIT:

The awards are worth £800 per year.
