Summer Schools
Page Navigation
Each summer we welcome students from across the world to RCS, both in person and online. Our varied programme has something for everyone and covers dance, drama, musical theatre, music, film and production. After a successful Summer 2026, we look forward to welcoming you in Summer 2027!
Our courses are aimed at both beginners who want to experience their first taste of the performance and production arts, and experienced students who want to further develop their skills.

Our residential courses provide the opportunity for in-depth study and experiencing summer in Scotland.
Summer Accommodation
Our course fees do not include accommodation or food, and these should be organised by students attending our Summer Schools.
We recommend Base Glasgow, a purpose-built student accommodation for Conservatoire students which is only a few minutes walk from each of our campuses. There are also plenty of hotels, hostels, and B&Bs nearby and we are easily accessible by local transport for anyone who would prefer to stay elsewhere.
You can find more information on our Summer Accommodation page.
