Course Overview

This course is designed to enable you to pursue musicology at an advanced level of scholarship, with increased intellectual confidence, enhanced research skills, professional responsibility, and critical and theoretical awareness of sub-disciplines of musicology, appropriate to make an original contribution to the professional field of music studies. You will do so as part of a vibrant, stimulating, and energetic community for music researchers at the University of Huddersfield. We will provide you with a high-quality learning experience, based upon the teaching and research strengths of our staff. We will support you as you develop as a music scholar, learning to understand and evaluate a range of research methods and topics, and how to communicate these both within and outside of the wider academic community. Teaching will include archive-based sessions, which will give you confidence in handling and analyzing a wide range of specialist sources from manuscripts to early sound recordings.
