Foreign Study Program

Offered every year, the Music Foreign Study Program (FSP) provides a unique opportunity for students to combine the study of music with an intensive exposure to musical performance. The program is open to vocalists, instrumentalists, and composers, as well as to students whose focus is on music history, theory, or ethnomusicology.

For details on the application procedures, please visit the Department of Off-Campus Programs.

Students reap the benefits of being located in London (or Beijing in 2013). Attending concerts and rehearsals, meeting performers and artists, and viewing the fine musical tradition of England at first hand will offer unique learning opportunities outside the classroom. Enrollment is limited to 16 students. Selection will be based on a student's demonstrated interest in music by virtue of his or her past study and demonstrated ability to perform.

Important updates for students on the London FSP March 24th - June 1st 2012
