Assessment Methods and Award


Throughout the course, students submit a number of prescribed practical exercises which are designed to test a wide range of skills. Throughout the course, students undertake a substantial project with an artist of their choice within the guidelines set by the Institute. This project
counts a significant amount towards their final course mark. Theoretical progress examinations are held at regular intervals over the duration of the course and it culminates in a final written examination.

In addition, theoretical assessment includes the preparation and submission of a written research project on a subject of the student’s choice which has been previously approved by the Programme Co‑ordinator. In order to qualify for the SAE Music Business Diploma, candidates need to reach an overall assessed mark of seventy (70) percent (theory and practical).
