<p>Princeton University and the Royal College of Music in London have initiated a unique collaboration that will offer Princeton students the opportunity to spend the fall of their junior year at the Royal College of Music and the chance to return to London after graduation to complete a performance-oriented master’s degree in one to two years. </p>

<p>The program is offered as part of Princeton’s Study Abroad Program and will be available to students starting with the class of 2010. Qualified students will be invited to audition in Princeton for the Royal College of Music in March of their sophomore year. Accepted students will spend the following semester as full-time college of music students, learning with RCM professors and participating in the rich performance life of the college and London. </p>

<p>Subject to the results of an audition at the end of their junior term, students may be granted early admission to the Royal College of Music’s master’s program after graduation from Princeton. Students may possibly complete the master’s in an intensive 12-month program. </p>
