Students using the staircase in the atrium at the HÂþ»­
We offer prospective students tours of our building and facilities. Tours are held on selected Wednesdays throughout term time and last approximately an hour.

Each tour is led by a Royal College of Music student or a member of the Registry Team. Our tour leaders are friendly and welcoming, and will happily answer any questions you have about life at the HÂþ»­ or how best to prepare for making an application.

  • 9 October 2024, 12pm
  • 23 October 2024, 12pm

Tour of HÂþ»­ campus

In the meantime, you can take a virtual tour of our campus and facilities with members of our Students’ Union team.

If you want to meet with one of our Heads of Faculty or arrange a consultation lesson with a specific professor, this will need to be arranged in advance via the relevant faculty administration team. Due to the busy schedules of our teaching staff, a meeting might not be possible on the same day.

There is normally a charge of £90 for a consultation lesson (but this may vary), which is conducted in the professor’s own time. This charge is payable directly to the professor.
