The MA provides an excellent foundation for students going on to a research degree and it is also a valuable qualification in its own right. You will normally follow a dedicated study pathway. Current pathways include: medieval and early modern musics; folk and traditional; theoretical and cultural musicology; and popular musics and ethnomusicology. Practical and/or creative modules may also be available if you are suitably qualified.
Contents
MA students take general and music-specific research training modules (30 credits); taught modules (90 credits); and a dissertation (60 credits). Diploma students follow a similar programme but do not undertake a dissertation.
Taught modules are typically drawn from: studying popular musics; early modern musical materials – sources and performances; advanced studies in ethnomusicology; debates in the philosophy and theory of music; ritual remembrance and recorded sound; popular music and the politics of authenticity; globalisation and the popular – contemporary urban styles; notation and editing; and special topics in theoretical and cultural musicologies. It is also possible to take modules from the MMus programme and from other disciplines in the University with the permission of the dissertation adviser.
