This route will be appropriate for those who have a particular interest they wish to develop which is not covered by one of our specialist pathways (in Contemporary Music Studies, Ethnomusicology, Historical Musicology, Popular Music Research, and an elective pathway), or for those who are seeking a broadly-based programme of music study at postgraduate level (taking both research methods modules, for example, would provide exceptional training for those going on to doctoral study). The programme will appeal to a wide range of students hoping to develop their intellectual skills in music, perhaps as preparation for further postgraduate research, prior to entering teaching, or as a basis for a employment in arts administration, journalism, or other occupations in the creative and cultural industries.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take testYou should normally have, or expect to have, a first-class or upper second-class Honours degree in Music, or an equivalent qualification. Your qualification should comprise a substantial academic element relevant to the selected MA pathway and option choices. For the generic MA in Music award you should write a detailed proposal explaining the rationale for your choices and how these provide a coherent programme of study leading to dissertation. A detailed transcript of your degree is preferred.
We also encourage applications from people without formal qualifications who can demonstrate equivalent professional experience, in which case you are advised to enclose with your application examples of your written work.
You will normally be required to attend an interview, and you may be asked to submit examples of your written work in advance.
If you wish to be exempted from interview, you should send at least one example of your written work in English (such as an essay of at least 1,500 words on a relevant topic), certified to be your own.
