Overview

Academic Music College's full graduate program lasts four years. Entry exams are normally held for students age 15, although students from the vocal department are usually older. Its diploma gives graduates the right to work professionally as teachers, orchestra players, conductors, operatic and choir soloists.[2] The Academic Music College can also be considered a preparatory stage for further advancement in higher education institutions such as conservatories and universities. In that capacity, the College serves as an intermediary educational body.[1] The College also has its own junior division, Music School.

In musical circles, Academic Music College is often informally called Merzliakov College, or simply Merzliakovka, after the street on which it is located.[1]
