Choosing your professor

You can express three preferences for your principal study professor. We always do our best to match you to your choices, but very occasionally we will not be able to do so.

Please let us know your three preferences using our online form before 1 May 2025. If you have no particular preference and are content for your Head of Faculty to select a professor they think would be suitable, please put 'No preference'.

Percussion

Percussionists will study with a variety of professors as they develop their skills on a range of instruments. As such, percussionists do not need to choose a professor.

However, a list of percussion professors is available for reference.
