Bachelor of Arts in Voice
Are you a vocalist who would like to advance your vocal training and performance practice? In addition to developing your solo performing interests, would you like to progress your musicianship, ensemble and creative skills? Would you like to broaden your knowledge and your creative potential through a varied and professionally focused degree?
Applicants will be proficient vocalists but do not necessarily have to have a formal background in music (i.e. Leaving Certificate Music or vocal grade examinations such as those from the Associated Board, Royal Irish Academy etc.). Vocalists will practically engage a variety of genre interests and may have prior performance experience in popular music, song writing, musical theatre, choral etc.
Applicants will be required to demonstrate vocal proficiency at audition.
Why Study Voice?
This programme will allow you to develop a range of skills for professional vocal performance in a variety of contexts.

You will study a number of vocationally focused modules aimed at allowing you to translate your singing, artistic and scholarly creativity into a fulfilling career.
As a student, you will be based at the world-class facilities of the Irish World Academy building, equipped to the highest standards with cutting edge performance and rehearsal spaces and technological infrastructure. The cooperative education period allows you to construct your own work-experience, giving you invaluable experience of the opportunities open to you when you graduate.
