Where can I do my placement?
The 20 credit Placement Module offers you the opportunity to diversify your practice and experience through working in an unfamiliar context. Your placement supervisor and Trinity Laban’s Learning and Participation Department will support you in identifying an appropriate placement. Past students have enjoyed placements with organisations such as the London Symphony Orchestra, Drake Music Scotland, Gateway School of Mumbai (Special Needs), Sound and Music, Junior Royal Academy and Junior Trinity. Many other students have found placements with local schools and music hubs.
If I apply but then cannot commit to the programme, can I defer my place for the year after?
Unfortunately, we do not offer deferrals for any Trinity Laban music programme. You would need to apply again the following year.
