Welcome to ‘Get Ready To Study’
Moving into full-time Conservatoire training from school or college is an exciting time and we hope you are looking forward to starting the next stage of your studies. For some people it can feel like a big step up. There will be new challenges ahead, and new skills and knowledge that you will develop as you go.
We recently spoke to some of our Transitions alumni who are studying on BA and MA courses at RCS to ask them what would have been useful to know or do before starting their course. The Get Ready to Study Resources are a result of this research and we hope it will be useful as you prepare for your studies.
