The Royal College of Music (RCM) is one of the world's greatest conservatoires. Our excellence was recognised by the 2021 QS World University Rankings, in which we ranked as the top institution for performing arts in the UK for the sixth consecutive year, and top in Europe for second year running.
The College is seeking an experienced musician and educator to provide outstanding leadership for its taught postgraduate programmes.
The College’s taught postgraduate programmes include courses for advanced performers and composers (MMus, MPerf, MComp, ArtDip), an internationally renowned Composition for Screen programme, the distinctive MSc in Performance Science (delivered by the Centre for Performance Science), and a flexible MEd for professional music educators. Our programmes attract students from all over the world to study in the College’s stimulating, professionally informed environment.
You will have extensive experience of teaching music in higher education, in any area which may include performance or composition teaching. You will have a track record of programme leadership in higher education, including curriculum design and review. You will understand the ways in which learning and teaching in higher education is evolving, and you will bring innovative ideas for learning enhancement and innovation in the conservatoire.
An excellent communicator, you will have the skills to work collaboratively with students and colleagues to enhance the PGT student experience. You will understand the diverse needs and ambitions of postgraduate students in the conservatoire, and you will be committed to developing inclusive teaching and assessment practices for all students.
Working in collaboration with the Director of Programmes, the Head of Undergraduate Programmes and the Head of Research, you will make an important contribution to the future of postgraduate education at the College.
The RCM offers world-class teaching facilities, a creative and supportive environment for staff development, and a generous allocation of research time for research-active staff.
