Develop a distinctive, original and trans-disciplinary creative practice in (or related to) music through this programme.

This unique programme comprises an inclusive, forward-thinking ‘making', composition and creative practice approach. It embraces broad conceptions of composition and performance and encourages multi-disciplinary and collaborative approaches to creative practice

The programme is designed for creative practitioners and music artists who are seeking to deepen, challenge and uniquely blend practices in contemporary composition, songwriting and song-based music, sound art and electronic music, music production, performance, ethnographic film and multi-media or audio-visual work

You will get to explore and develop your creative and research skills, which may span various disciplines, and may introduce you to London's world-leading music collections and institutions

You can tailor your studies to your personal interests by developing your own coherent programme of study. You will select modules from an extensive list of taught options, and propose a significant body of work for your 180-credit creative project, which can also be proposed collaboratively. The outcomes of this work have the possibility of being professionally released by the Departments record label, NX Records

This programme also offers the opportunity for direct entry to the one-year Creative Project stage, providing you meet the necessary entry requirements

The Department of Music houses state-of-the-art studios, which you will have access to. The Electronic Music Studios offers advanced facilities for electro-acoustic composition, multichannel work, and live and interactive performance. The Goldsmiths Music Studios offers a HD Pro-tools recording system and a large format analogue desk.
