Course content
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.
