The campus is located in the very centre of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, and is under 2 hours by train to central London.
Cardiff is the “Most Cost-effective City” in the UK for Students, according to the Natwest Student Living Index 2019.
Our campus hosts major events such as BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, World Stage Design, World Harp Congress and BBC Young Musician of the Year.
We are the only Steinway Exclusive Conservatoire in the world and the College, and every acoustic piano at the College is a Steinway. All music students will now have access to a Steinway when they practice, when they are examined, and when they perform.
We are the first UK conservatoire to be awarded the MusiQuE gold standard for our teaching quality and our approach to individual student experience. We have been praised as ‘a shining example of best practice across European conservatoires’.

What is so central to life at the RWCMD is the idea that the music that we make is not just what you play, it's about who you are and what you bring to it.
