Overview

This is a flexible research-based Master of Music.

Practitioners are able to study in areas such as:

performance

composition

studio-based work

improvisation

sound-art

mixed media

You can focus on any one of these or blend them according to their creative needs.

Musicologists are able to study in areas such as:

critical and cultural musicology

ethnomusicology and world music

folk music studies

early music

popular music studies

music theory and analysis

It's also possible to combine practice-based and musicologically orientated projects.

The MMus can be regarded as a qualification in its own right, but also offers preparation for doctoral study, not least because of the strong research emphasis.
