The PhD programme allows for tailored supervision and research processes based on a candidate’s interests and skills while aligning with academic staff research interests and SARC’s broader research strategy. If you pursue research in Musicology, you will focus on scholastic study of significant figures such as Bach, Handel and Mozart as well as contemporary performance, critical studies in sound and music, improvisation and folksong. If you are a practitioner, you will work across a broad range of creative practice from performance, composition, installation, sound design and audiovisual work. Interdisciplinary PhD proposals are encouraged to approach sound and music topics from a variety of disciplines.
