Royal Academy of Music

IB 24 points (or equivalent secondary-leaving qualification permitting university entry); ABRSM/Trinity Grade 8 or DipABRSM in Principal Study; final selection by live or video audition

No SAT/ACT requirement exists -- a genuinely new, audition-based institution type for this list. The Academy's own page wasn't reachable directly; findings instead are confirmed across two independent web searches both quoting the live page verbatim ("a secondary school certificate of a sufficiently high level to permit university entry will be acceptable"; IB 24 points; Grade 8/DipABRSM in Principal Study), the same corroboration standard used for Cardiff/Heriot-Watt elsewhere. Page references the 2026/27 joining cohort.
