    GLASGOW 2014

    THE CITY OF GLASGOWGlasgow is a city where grit and glamour collide where

    beautiful architecture and green spaces sit alongside relics of

    an industrial past. The cultural heart of Scotland, Glasgow

    is a cosmopolitan, vibrant city, widely recognised as a major

    influence on European art, design and architecture. Rich

    with national and major museums, galleries and venues

    to explore, host of the 2014 Commonwealth Games and aUNESCO City of Music, Glasgows rich cultural landscape is

    a joy to explore.

    THE GLASGOW MIRACLEThe term Glasgow Miracle was coined by lecturer Hans-

    Ulbrich Orbist to describe the emergence of Glasgows

    famously vibrant art scene, linked to graduates of The

    Glasgow School of Art working in the city, establishing studio

    spaces and artist-led galleries such as Transmission and

    Wasps, and providing a network for others to do the same.

    As a result, Glasgow offers a multi-tiered system of artist-run

    spaces and more established galleries providing artists with

    opportunities to exhibit at every stage of their development.

    ROYAL CONSERVATOIRE OF SCOTLANDAs Scotland s nat ional Conser vatoir e, we are in a unique

    position sitting at the very heart of Scotlands cultural life.

    Eager to ensure we remain at the foref ront of performing

    arts education, we have spent the last six years

    redesigning our entire curriculum offer. Now, two years

    into delivery of the new undergraduate curriculum, we

    have re-identified ourselves as a conservatoire for t he 21st

    century. Uniquely in the UK, we have the five performing

    arts disciplines of dance, drama, music, production, andscreen all under one roof. This has allowed us to create

    a curriculum which balances the demands of individual

    disciplines, with opportunities for students to work

    in genuinely inter-disciplinary ways. Our curriculum

    also places value on artistic collaboration, on social

    engagement and on Human Rights.

    Ac ross al l of our specia lisms, we curr ently hav e arou nd

    900 students on degree programmes. Our students

    enjoy a dynamic learning environment and experience

    an extraordinary blend of intensive tuition, professional

    partnerships, performances and the creative space to co-

    create across the disciplines on their journey towardsrealising their own individual artistic voice.
