Location of Middlesex University
MA Music at Middlesex University has established a reputation for providing the Music postgraduate with a curriculum to strengthen, but also to contextualise the more specialist work in musicon which they may have decided to focus their professional development.
The masters course structure is flexible to allow you to vary your work according to varied interests or to focus exclusively on areas of your chosen practical discipline. This pliability permits international postgraduate students from wider Music disciplines to collaborate and benefit from one another's experience.
You are also encouraged to engage with unique lectures, seminars and workshops on the third year undergraduate BA Music, BA Jazz and BA Music and Arts Management courses to collaborate with other performing arts forms if you wish, and to join the music ensembles which include chamber groups, jazz, contemporary, Latin American and choir.
