Course content

This Diploma is a Pre-Master's programme aimed at postgraduate students who need a year to develop or consolidate their language skills in academic English, to develop additional music skills (theoretical or practical), and to familiarise themselves both with ways of working in British academic culture and in the standards required at Master's degree level.

You can take it as a self-standing Diploma or as an ideal preparation for further postgraduate study. The Graduate Diploma in Music is designed to lead on to the MA and MMus programmes in the Department of Music at Goldsmiths.

You can choose to specialise in the area of music that interests them, whether it be music performance, composition or musicology (including ethnomusicology, popular music studies, historical musicology or contemporary music studies). Students who wish to go on to study either at Goldsmiths or elsewhere in Britain will be given help and support in finding an appropriate programme.
