The Creative Practice pathway of our MMus Music is designed for creative musicians who cannot easily separate performance and composition in their work. Whether you’re a musician working in improvised music, singer-songwriter or interested in live electronics, this course is for you.

You will take two compulsory research training modules, after which teaching and study progress from closely taught modules designed to secure and extend your technique to more autonomous, project-based learning opportunities.

Having completed the postgraduate diploma stage, you will progress to masters study and submit a final portfolio of work. Your portfolio will likely feature a combination of live performance and composition.
