Course programme
A rigorously demanding course, the MMus degree offers an opportunity to develop your musicianship to a very high level in a range of subject areas. The School of Music and Performing Arts is a community of more than 600 students from foundation to doctorate level, dedicated to creating and recreating music, dance and drama; all contributing to the musical and performing arts life of the University, the city of Canterbury and the wider community in the south east of England. This vibrant community offers exciting opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration as well as more specialised subject- specific work. The degree is offered either as a one year full-time, or two year part-time course. You'll choose from one of the following independent study areas: Performance (solo instrumental or vocal performance; a specialised saxophone performance pathway, led by John Harle, is also available) Conducting Composition/Creative Audio (eg acoustic composition, electroacoustic composition, popular song writing, sound art) Research Project in a chosen area of musicology (eg music psychology, music education, historical musicology, contemporary musicology) Your independent study choice is complemented by four core modules: Research Methods, Contextual Studies, Criticism and Analysis. These modules provide you with the research and critical skills necessary for success at Masters level, but also allow you to tailor your study to your individual strengths and interests, developing your knowledge of the research and context of your independent study area. The music staff comprises resident and visiting specialists who contribute to the MMus through lectures, seminars, workshops and masterclasses. Performance and composition-based subjects are supported by a generous allowance of individual tuition. You'll also participate in a range of public performances and concert activity within the University and beyond.
