It is open to all registered 3rd-year music students and music scholars (Ad Astra, Symphony Orchestra, Choral Scholars), but admission is strictly by audition. Students are expected to work privately with an instrumental/voice instructor, and a number of scholarships may be awarded to students not already in receipt of a music scholarship in order to fund a course of lessons with a teacher from an approved list.
You should first email music@ucd.ie in order to express an interest in applying.
