Course summary

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.


Entry requirements

A 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent, in music or a related subject. If you have a 2:1 honours degree in an unrelated subject we will consider your application if you can demonstrate appropriate evidence of music and general critical knowledge and ability.
