MA Music

The MA in Music is structured to allow you to intensively pursue a specific sub-discipline in Music, accommodating your particular research interests. Up to five specialisms will be offered each year: Musicology (P1) Ethnomusicology (P2) Composition (P3) Performance (P4) Music and Science (P5) The structure proposed here is broadly similar to courses offered by other Russell Group university music departments, including Bristol, York, and Birmingham, but has distinctive features informed by the departments research strength in the emergent sub-discipline of Music and Science.

Our standard admissions requirements are a 2:1 or higher (or equivalent) in an undergraduate Music degree. We are open to considering candidates from other backgrounds, however, and would encourage you to get in touch with us to discuss how you can provide evidence of your suitability for this course in your application.
