Student Group Membership
The RMA’s Student Group scheme allows music departments and conservatoires to take out institutional membership as a way of encouraging their research students to become part of the wider academic community. This membership runs by academic year, rather than calendar year. Benefits include:
- Free or discounted participation fees at RMA events such as the Research Students’ Conference, Annual Conference and Study Days
- Eligibility for Student Research Grants to cover expenses for research trips and conference attendance
- Expert guidance and small grants to help with organizing Study Days in your institution
- Career advice on topics such as how to get published and tips on applying for research funds
- Online and print copies of the Journal of the Royal Musical Association and Research Chronicle
- Monthly e-bulletin providing information on calls for papers, new publications and other academic news
- Discounted books from a wide range of academic publishers
- Individual student access to the RMA members’ directory
