The schools specialise in composition, wind, brass and percussion, keyboard studies, popular music, strings, conducting, vocal studies and opera, and academic studies.

The college is located in Manchester, a city in the north of England, UK. Manchester is a vibrant city home to a number of famous sports venues, a varied music scene and a rich history of science and industry. For music students this city has particular significance, as it is the birthplace of several legendary bands such as Joy Division, The Stone Roses and Oasis. Students have the opportunity to see classical and contemporary performers at the city’s many venues such as Bridgewater Hall or Manchester Arena.
