2025 Prepare for Oversea Studies Results
This year, LAMT Musical’s students have achieved another spectacular milestone! A total of 23 offers were received from leading undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across the UK and the US. Prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy of Music (RAM), Manhattan School of Music (MSM), and Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts are among the names that now feature our students shining brightly on their rosters.
As mentors to these dedicated performers, we are filled with pride and joy. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to every student and wish them continued success on their journey abroad as they step confidently towards their dreams on stage.
Student Spotlight: J – Failure Isn’t the End, Giving Up Is
J is undoubtedly one of this year’s most inspiring success stories. He secured offers from three top musical theatre MA programmes in the UK, including his dream school – the Royal Academy of Music.
What many don’t know is that this was actually J’s second year working with us on his postgraduate applications. Last year, an unexpected performance opportunity interrupted his plans during the critical application period. With limited time and unstable rehearsal schedules, he managed to apply to just two schools – and sadly, neither progressed to the final round.
Yet, instead of giving up, J poured himself wholeheartedly into the touring production, gaining invaluable stage experience. Once the tour ended, he came straight back to LAMT and restarted his preparation.
For a recent graduate, such a touring role is a rare and significant opportunity. We encouraged him to seize it – especially as UK conservatoires value real-world experience highly. Over the year, J not only developed immensely as a performer but also gained deeper insights into the contrasts between Asian and Western musical theatre, further fuelling his passion to study abroad.
When he returned for a second year of applications, he was vocally more mature and grounded, and performance-ready. He won over the panel and secured places at three of the most competitive programmes in the country – with acceptance rates below 1%. His story is a shining example of how resilience and perseverance truly pay off.
Student Spotlight: R – There’s More Than One Path to a Dream
R, a student from an international school, stunned us from her very first trial lesson. With a voice and technique that rivalled many seasoned performers, we were confident she’d excel in her musical theatre applications.
But the outcome was full of surprises. Her musical theatre results fell short of expectations, while her acting applications soared – earning her offers and scholarships from two top-tier universities in the United States! On top of that, this academic powerhouse also received offers from UCL, King’s College London, and other top universities, placing her at a difficult crossroads.
After thoughtful discussions with her family and our team, R decided to pursue a non-performance-related degree in London. This wasn’t giving up– it was a different way forward. As one of the world’s performing arts capitals, London offers a wealth of professional training courses, workshops, and performance opportunities. She plans to continue developing her skills alongside her university studies.
The road to becoming a performer is deeply personal and often unpredictable. It takes more than talent – timing, style, and even luck all play their part. We’ve already made a pact with her: in three years’ time, we’ll go for it again – this time for a master’s in musical theatre. Her dream is just beginning to bloom.
Behind Every Offer Lies a Inspiring Story
Each offer this year tells a unique and moving story – of determination, growth, and the pursuit of artistry. For many, getting into their dream conservatoire is a major milestone – but becoming a remarkable performer is a lifelong journey.
If you’re ready to take that first step towards a professional career in the performing arts, the best of time is now!
