About International Exchange
The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is linked to several international institutions. International exchanges enable our students to study in North America, Asia or Australia as part of their course and for students from international partner institutions to study in Glasgow. If you’re from one of the Conservatoire’s international exchange partner institutions you can apply to study in Glasgow for part or all of an academic year. You should apply via Acceptd with the consent of the International Relations Coordinator in your home institution. The closing date for receipt of applications is 31st March 2025.
When applying via Acceptd, please ensure that you select “Exchange Applications – Erasmus and International Exchange Programme”
