About our programmes
Music at Hull has a long-standing history of high quality research. Our internationally excellent and world-leading research in popular music, jazz studies, sonic arts, and music psychology was recognised by the Research Excellence Framework of 2014. We host up to 45 public performances every year and contribute regularly to musical events in the region, including Early Music festivals, jazz festivals and community projects as well as running the prestigious Newland Lectures in which renowned international academics, composers and music industry figures discuss their work in detail.
By studying here, you will be able to access some of the finest music facilities in the country following a major redevelopment of Middleton Hall - with rehearsal spaces and studios available 24/7.
You should normally have, or expect to obtain, at least a 2:1 Honours degree (or international equivalent) in a related subject appropriate to your intended research. You should submit a sample of your written work in musicology or composition of at least 4000 words (for MA by Research) and at least 10,000 word (for PhD applicants), or, if performance is your chosen specialism, you will be expected to attend for an audition.
