ACM Guildford has one HE programme with 5 routes (pathways) carved into it. These routes are defined to suit different career aspirations in different areas of the music industry. Due to this, it is entirely possible to switch route but only at certain points in the academic year and subject to an informal interview to ensure the change will suit you. 

Please note that you cannot change pathway any later than two weeks into a term.


If you are thinking of changing pathway at the start of your programme, please email [email protected] to request a Change Request form. You will then need to complete and return this form as soon as you can, so we can enact the changes as quickly as possible. Please note that you may be required to go through another audition for the new pathway. 


If you are thinking of changing pathway later into the programme (e.g. after the first term or at the end of a Level), please speak with your Pathway Leader in the first instance. They will be able to talk to you about your career aspirations and provide you with information about the other pathways to help you make an informed decision. Once you have done this, you can contact [email protected] to request a Change Request form for you to complete and return. Please note that you may be required to go through another audition for the new pathway.
