Location of Liverpool Hope University
The MA in Music since 1900 is built upon Hope’s long-standing involvement with and commitment to music of the 20th and 21st centuries. It is taught flexibly, in both evening slots and tutorial sessions which may be arranged to suit individual needs. In addition to the strength of Hope’s music staff in this area of study, the University enjoys a unique relationship with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and its contemporary music group, Ensemble 10/10.
As a composer, you will be able to have your work played and discussed by members of the orchestra; as a performer, you can take part in masterclasses and receive tuition from RLPO members; and a full programme of new music events, given by Ensemble 10/10, takes place in Hope’s Cornerstone building, the home of the Music Department.
Career Opportunities
Students who have completed the MA in Music since 1900 have progressed to study for higher research degrees (such as M.Phil. and Ph.D) both at Hope and at other UK universities. Some have continued to work professionally in the field of musical composition and performance, or musical administration, and the degree has been particularly popular with teachers who have wished to develop their knowledge and skills in areas of post 1900 music.
Contents
