In conjunction withUCAS, Conservatoires UK runs aclearing house forundergraduate andpostgraduate music courses at seven of its member institutions called UCAS Conservatoires (formallyCUKAS). Only theGuildhall School of Music and Drama does not accept applications through this system. UCAS Conservatoires allows applicants to submit one online application when applying to conservatoires, rather than a separate application for each institution (as was previously the case).[1]
The CUK Board is the decision-making body of CUK. Meeting regularly, the head of institution (usually titled 'principal') represents the constituent members and is led by a chair, deputy chair and lead.[2]
The Conservatories UK Student Network is a sub-group of CUK and a representative body in itself of students studying at all member institutions. Formed in 2013, the group is made up of the elected students’ union presidents and student representatives of the member institutions, led by an elected chair. CUKSN works with the principal's group and external professional organisations to represent the views of students on their conservatoire education and experience.[3]
