Jazz courses

The University of St Andrews jazz courses were established in 1994 and since then have grown steadily in popularity.

The courses are aimed at professional, semi-professional and aspiring musicians, who are eager to develop their work in this style, either for performance or teaching.

The Advanced Diploma and Graduate Diploma run throughout the academic year and consist of study days, contact days and a final study weekend in St Andrews, combined with distance learning.

The courses are held in the Music Centre based at Younger Hall, North Street, St Andrews. This large building houses a concert hall seating up to 1,000 people and is the main concert venue in St Andrews. It hosts performances by professional and amateur musicians, including regular visits by the University’s Orchestra in Residence the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, a series of chamber music concerts by internationally renowned artists, weekly Wednesday lunchtime concerts, jazz nights and much more.
