Cardiff University have announced that the School of Music is set to close amid cuts to staffing. This awful decision is once again a way to cut the arts in Wales and will have a lasting impact on the arts scene throughout the UK. As well as this, staff who work incredibly hard, have expertise that is rarely found and put their hearts and souls into making the School a vibrant, welcoming place are at danger of losing their livelihoods. Not to mention present and future students who will be affected by these cuts. We cannot let this happen and we cannot lose OUR School. 

I graduated from the School of Music with a Bachelor of Music in 2020. I always felt welcomed, at home and was always learning new things constantly. Music has so many transferrable skills that I have taken into jobs with me so far and I know many of my course mates and peers either have careers in music now or use their music degrees in their current roles.

If you are SICK of our arts subjects being at threat and the wonderful Cardiff Uni School of Music’s threat to closure PLEASE SIGN and SHARE to all alumni, present students, staff and your local community.

Thank you.
