In London, the Royal Academy of Music (RAM) on the Marylebone Road, near Baker Street tube station and adjacent to Regents Park) is a constituent college of the University of London, and is one of the world's leading music institutions.
The Academy has students from over 50 countries, follow diverse programmes including instrumental performance, conducting, composition, jazz, musical theatre and Opera. The Academy enjoys an established relationship with King's College London, particularly the Department of Music, whose students receive instrumental tuition at the Academy. In return, many students at the Academy take advantage of the range of Humanities choices at King's, and its extended academic musicological curriculum.
The Academy collaborates with other conservatoires world-wide, including participating in the SOCRATES student and staff exchange programme. In 1991 the Academy introduced a fully-accredited degree in Performance Studies, and in September 1999, it became a full constituent college of the University of London, in both cases becoming the first UK conservatoire to do so.
RAM offers musical theatre courses and composition courses. It would be surprising if that did not mean they offered composition for musical theatre, but you should check for yourself via
