Faculties

The Royal College of Music's nine faculties are very supportive environments. Our dedicated and experienced professors come from all over the world. They include respected international musicians at the forefront of their fields and many are principal players with London’s major orchestras.

Our faculties regularly collaborate with each other in ensemble contexts and in special projects. This ensures our students work closely with as many of their peers as possible, sharing expertise and enriching their musical experiences.
