Learn More →University Overview
Marie Rambert, a Polish-born dancer formerly with the Ballets Russes, founded Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in Kensington in 1920. In time, the Rambert dance company and the School became separate organisations, and after several London addresses the School settled at Clifton Lodge, in the St Margarets area of Twickenham. From 2005 it belonged to the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama, and since 2022 it has operated as an independent higher education provider on the Office for Students register.
The School describes itself as the UK's only conservatoire-level school with a degree that gives ballet and contemporary dance equal weight. Undergraduates complete a two-year Foundation Degree and then a one-year BA (Hons) top-up, with the Royal College of Music validating both awards. Ballet classes take place daily and are combined with contemporary techniques such as Cunningham and Graham, improvisation, and contextual study of history, psychology and dance science. Students perform at the Anya Linden Studio Theatre, the School's own venue, and at venues such as Sadler's Wells and the Royal Opera House's Linbury Theatre. Programmes for younger dancers and a postgraduate MA created with Rambert complete the portfolio.
Information for International Students
Admission is by audition: a contemporary class with an improvisation element, a ballet class and a short prepared solo. Auditions are held in person in the UK and abroad, in cities that have included New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Mumbai and Milan, while a digital audition is offered to those unable to attend. The School is a licensed Student sponsor and issues a CAS after an international candidate has cleared the second audition stage and paid a deposit. Non-native English speakers must hold a UKVI-approved Secure English Language Test: B2 on the CEFR scale for the BA top-up and B1 for the Foundation Degree, with the School offering guidance on test choice.
No halls of residence are available. Before new students arrive, staff help them find nearby accommodation, usually in shared houses in Twickenham or St Margarets or with host families, and wellbeing and support services help overseas students adjust to living independently in the UK. International students should have funding from their home country, such as loans, scholarships or sponsorship, in place before starting the course. Those who complete an eligible course may apply for the Graduate Route.
Intake Information
Intake information is provided as a general guide. Start dates vary between universities and courses, and not every course is offered at every intake. Please follow the UCAS deadlines for undergraduate applications and check the latest dates on the official Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance website.
Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
