Founded in 2001, the Conservatoire is one
of the most innovative and exciting Higher Education Institutions in the UK.
We exist to train artists who will match the world’s best and on entering their professions shape the future of dance, drama and circus arts.
Each of the Conservatoire’s eight schools is a small, specialist institution with an international reputation for high quality training.
