Which IELTS test to practice
For study at the Royal College of Music (RCM), practice IELTS Academic. The RCM accepts IELTS (Academic), IELTS (Academic) for UKVI and IELTS Online (Academic), from any IELTS test center. You must pass all four skills in one sitting; IELTS One Skill Retake is the only exception. Your result must be valid on your course start date.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMus (Hons), Graduate Diploma in Vocal Performance, Master of Performance, Master of Composition, Artist Diplomas in Performance, Composition and Opera | B2 in each skill | 5.5 | 5.5 |
| Master of Music in Performance or Composition, MSc in Performance Science, Artist Diploma in Conducting, PhD | C1 overall, B2 in each skill | 7.0 | 5.5 |
The RCM sets each requirement as a CEFR level and gives the IELTS band as its equal.
