A conditionally accepted applicant who fails to produce the required documents before the deadline will lose their conditional study place in the Sibelius Academy.

  • A foreign degree or qualification that makes you eligible for corresponding higher education in the awarding country
  • A Cambridge Advanced International Certificate (AICE)
