This innovative new MA in Music puts your interests at the heart of your experience.Building on the success of our undergraduate Music programmes, this exciting new MA Music aims to provide a supportive and encouraging environment in which to develop your practice.We have flipped the traditional structure of a Masters, where taught modules are followed by a final project or dissertation, by enabling you to work on and develop your major project from the outset.This programme is ideal for musicians, composers, producers and artists who want to develop their practice, and for scholars who wish to take an academic approach to their study. There is no requirement for undergraduate music study and we welcome practitioners and scholars from all disciplines.
The entry requirement for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at 2:2 or above in any discipline. As part of the application process, you must submit a portfolio of music, creative, or scholarly work, including examples from your area of expertise (e.g. performance, composition, songwriting, production, music technology, musicology, etc.). This could be through links to an online repository or drive (e.g. audio files, notations, videos, project reports, essays, and dissertations, as applicable), or links to publicly available work (e.g. Bandcamp, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, etc.).
