Research Degrees

Students studying for a research degree concentrate on pursuing an independent research project devised in consultation with their supervisors. Musicologists and ethnomusicologists write a large-scale dissertation, composers produce a portfolio of original compositions accompanied by a critical commentary, and performers give a recital accompanied by a critical commentary.  You will work under the guidance of an expert supervisory team and your progress will be reviewed periodically to support you in bringing the project to a successful conclusion.  Details of our research degree programmes can be found in the table below.
