Study Abroad
The Guildhall School is committed to cultivating alliances with international partners in a variety of ways, including teacher exchanges, international summer schools, group visits and student exchanges.
The Guildhall School has student exchange agreements with an array of internationally renowned European conservatoires and Musikhochschulen through the Erasmus scheme (please see Student Erasmus Institution list PDF 8.5KB), and also has exchange agreements with Griffith University (Australia) and The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University (USA)
Student exchanges are not currently possible within the Guildhall School’s drama programmes, but for several years Acting students have participated in an international summer school in Italy (see BA Acting page for more details), and the School is exploring Technical Theatre secondments within Europe.
Studying abroad is an excellent way to gain more insight into the international music field and develop the flexibility that is needed from you as a musician within a secure educational environment. It encourages developments in confidence, language skills, employability and your ability to adapt to new environments and to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds.
