At the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) we are committed to providing you with the practical, emotional, and learning support you need to reach your full potential during your studies.

In addition to our extensive support services available to you, you will find a friendly and welcoming community at RCS. The Royal Conservatoire is a special place where we believe you will thrive and feel supported so that you can meet the challenges and expectations of your chosen programme.

What Support is Available?

  • Student Counselling: We have a team of seven counsellors, five available both on-line and in-person and two available on-line only. Where possible the counsellors offer flexible scheduling to accommodate student needs. The Counselling Team aims to reflect the student body in terms of ethnicity, gender, LBGT+ and disability. The counsellors offer person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Integrative therapy and counselling in British Sign Language (BSL). To schedule an appointment, email: counselling@rcs.ac.uk. More information is available via the Student Portal and the RCS website.
