Course overview
The MMus degree advances your exploration of today’s creative music practice in all its complexity. From a range of stimulating pathways, you choose one that best suits your interests. Modules are shared across pathways, and are rooted in academic and practice-based research.
The MMus degree allows students to advance in performance and composition in the broadest sense, while acquiring academic knowledge.
The pathways available are:
- Creative Practice (Pathway A)
- Composition (Pathway B)
- Sonic Arts (Pathway C)
- Performance and Related Studies (Pathway D)
- Popular Music (Pathway E)
The programme’s modules explore music as an evolving subject and cover repertories from Western art music through to electronic, popular, audio-visual, non-Western, and contemporary repertories.
- You develop systematic, critical and creative approaches, exploring musical practice, discourses, and contexts
- You develop an independent and original approach to creative practice
- You explore interrelationships between music and other subjects, between theory and practice, and between performance and structural interpretation
