Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM)

Home to over 900 students from more than 60 countries, the RNCM in Manchester is dedicated to providing an outstanding education that propels students into careers as inspiring and versatile musicians.

The RNCM currently has a focus of redefining music and its future place in society, through the diverse career choices of their alumni and the institutional collaborations and partnerships that influence the direction of the profession.

The ARCO Project is delighted to work with such a progressive institution that understands 'to enable our students to build successful and sustainable careers we need to encourage risk-taking and the exploration of new ideas; to establish a laboratory for creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship; to reimagine and build on what has gone before us; and to understand our civic responsibility.'

The ARCO Project is currently training our prospective teachers to begin teaching in January 2024. The ARCO Project will be fully embedded into the fabric of both undergraduate and postgraduate courses structure and offered as an elective at the RNCM from September 2024.
