“There is nowhere quite like the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland as a place to study and develop your craft. A hub for so many artforms, the building is a melting pot of creativity and collaboration. Fellow students I met down the corridors of RCS became my friends and collaborators for life.

“The RCS Composition department is like no other, providing world-class training and tutorship while always maintaining a focus on each student’s individual path. During my time studying in the department, individuality was championed and celebrated, and I felt hugely supported along my journey in finding my own, unique voice. The connections I made within the music and theatre industry while studying allowed me to step straight into the career I had dreamt of, and for that, I’m hugely grateful.”
