"summary": "The Advanced Artist Diploma (AAD, Level 8) is for a select group of instrumentalists at the highest level. The UCAS application deadline is **2 October 2025**. The course supports development of a range of industry-related skills (as appropriate to your individual profile) with mentoring provided in addition to one-to-one lessons. Successful applicants will be ready to take full advantage of a recording opportunity with world-class production and special release arrangements on major streaming platforms and/or record labels. Students selected for this course will receive a full-fees scholarship and will also be eligible for additional scholarship support at the point of entry. (The recording will receive separate financial support.) AAD students will be required to self-manage critical aspects of the delivery of the recording, and the range of work undertaken during the course, in line with professional expectations. The course is at level 8 of the FHEQ, which demands a high level of autonomy and initiative, as well as highly developed artistry. This course is right for you if you are on the cusp of an international career and aim to develop musical collaborations at a corresponding level. It is designed to enable students to make the most of the artistic and educational opportunities afforded by the Academy and its location in the heart of London.",
