Piano bookings
There are pianos at The Ridge and The Edge for all University students to use. You will need to make a booking on our Eventbrite schedule to use the pianos. Please remember your UCard or you won't be able to access the room, as both The Edge and The Ridge doors can only be accessed via swiping your UCard.

International postgraduate taught scholarships
We offer a generous package of financial support for international postgraduate taught students, including scholarships worth £10,000 towards the original tuition fee.
Applications are open for existing offer holders for a postgraduate taught programme starting in September 2025.
