The pathway is carefully honed to foster and develop postgraduate level composition skills within the rich environment of a strong musicological, performing and technological research setting. Students can draw upon postgraduate modules dealing with musicology and computer music. As the pathway progresses, students supplement their focus on composition by either completing a musicological special research project, or by further exploring computer music technology.
