The Conservatoire offered undergraduate and postgraduate courses including dance (ballet, contemporary, choreography), drama (acting, directing, writing), production arts (stage and screen), and circus arts.

Each of the Conservatoire schools was a separate and distinct institution that employs its own teaching staff and remains legally autonomous. At the same time, students were registered jointly with the Conservatoire and the individual school.

The Conservatoire operated through a series of committees and working groups to determine policy for the schools as a whole. The schools themselves were involved at every level of deliberation within the Conservatoire, enabling them to share knowledge and expertise for the benefit of staff, students and the wider creative world that they serve.

The Conservatoire was placed eighth in the Guardian's University Guide 2019: Drama & Dance table.^[1]
