Areas of study

Whether you're looking to study at undergraduate, Master's or PhD-level, our areas of study within music can be split into:

Performance

If you're looking to focus on the performance aspect of music, we have plenty of support and opportunities to hone your skills.

Many of our degrees include performance as a key part of its content. However, if you're working in composition or musicology, there are still performance opportunities and tutorship available to you.

We have a lively and engaging performance environment, offering activities such as a professional concert series, tutoring, and weekly student performance platforms. 

You can also take part in a huge variety of staff-supervised ensembles, covering everything from: vocals, symphony orchestra and jazz to folk and salsa. 

Opportunities within the University are complemented by the region's vibrant music scene. World class venues such as The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, ensure that there's a wealth of performance opportunities right on your doorstep.

Composition

Composition is integrated throughout your musical journey here.

At undergraduate level, you can place creative music-making at the heart of your studies. Composition modules are available regardless of your chosen degree pathway. You'll learn through practical engagement, receiving direct supervision from our team of resident composers.

For postgraduate students, we offer specialised MA and PhD programmes that allow you to develop an original, innovative body of work.

A key feature at all levels is our emphasis on collaboration. You'll be able to hear your music brought to life in workshops with professional performers and by collaborating with fellow students across disciplines, in a community that actively blurs the boundaries between genres.

Musicology

Musicology is shaped by the research of our large and diverse academic staff. Their wide-ranging expertise - spanning centuries, continents, and critical themes such as sound studies, gender, and globalisation - informs further research and teaching that is comprehensive and adventurous.

Collaboration across disciplines plays a key role in our work. That collaboration has created an environment where our students learn to analyse music within its deepest cultural and political contexts.

This approach, reflected in our internationally-recognised research and publications, ensures you develop a critical and contemporary understanding of music as a vital social force.
