Whether you are uneasy or scared about your course or the stress of uni life and your soon coming independence (Trust me, I've been there 😭) just feel free to chat with me about it. or of anything really 🤷: Uni, accommodation, living costs, music or just life in general. And for any music students out there, I'd love to give you some insider information on the course. I look forward to chatting with you guys! Me and all the other buddies have got your back! 😁 David

City St George's, University of LondonProfessional Dance and Musical Theatre BA (Hons)Hi everyone! I'm Jenna, a first-year student at Urdang, where I'm pursuing my passion for Professional Dance and Musical Theatre. Originally from Canada, I made the exciting decision to move to London with the hopes of pursuing my dreams as a performer and becoming fully immersed in the vibrant world of musical theatre in the West End. My greatest passions are dancing, acting, and singing. When I'm not on stage or in the studio, you might find me exploring the outdoors, travelling with friends, or watching a film in the cinema. I am so excited to share more of my journey and connect with you all! Josh

City St George's, University of LondonMusic BMusI am a 4th Year BMus Music student passionate about learning! :) I recently completed an Exchange Year Abroad studying at Seoul National University (SNU)! Leon
Bangor UniversityMusicI chose to study music at Bangor because the music course here particularly interested me, since it allows you to study music in depth from a theoretical and musicological perspective, in addition to studying composition and performance. It also stood out to me due to its small cohort sizes, as this allows you to get to know all of your lecturers and fellow students and receive personalised feedback on assignments. Lucie
