The Graduate Diploma in Professional Artist is a one year full-time course OR 1.5 years part-time course preparing students for further studies in music with emphasis on practical training and holistic professional musicianship.

This full-time course consisting of 2 semesters is built around the student's Main Study. During the course, students have ample opportunities to accumulate valuable performing experience in ensemble work by opting for Chinese Ensemble, String Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, or Vocal Ensemble as appropriate to their Main Study. In addition, such students will also be given opportunities to lead Ensembles whilst at the College.

Students may also be selected for the External Diploma Examinations of ABRSM/Trinity/Guildhall/LCM at levels appropriate to their performing ability. These Diplomas demand professional standards of performance and musicianship, beyond that of a final year Advanced Diploma in Music recital.

Students can customise their studies by choosing from a wide variety of classes offered in the ADMus course. These classes include core modules (required by all students) and electives
