MA Music - Full-time

How You Study

Students can work alongside colleagues specialising in different areas of music, including performance, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, opera, musical theatre, musical instruments, and popular music. Taught modules will be offered through seminars, which can include tutor-delivered content followed by discussion, workshop activity, and exercises.

Contact hours on this programme vary depending on the module being delivered and the stage of study. Postgraduate level study involves a significant proportion of independent study, exploring the material covered in lectures and seminars. As a general guide, for every hour spent in class, students are expected to spend at least two to three hours in independent study. For more detailed information please contact the Programme Leader.

The final research project will be an extended period of independent study leading to a practice-as-research output (practice and short dissertation) or a dissertation.
