Course Summary

Canterbury Christ Church University's MMus was always top of the list for me. I can’t praise the flexibility highly enough - such as recording lectures, utilising online tutorials, seminars and materials. It was definitely the right decision for me.

Overview

If you want to take your musical knowledge to the highest level then our MMus is the place to start.

The course will develop your technical, conceptual and critical skills, allowing you to specialise in performance, composition and/or musicology, guided by internationally-renowned staff and supported by stunning facilities. With the MMus under your belt you'll be perfectly placed to pursue PhD study if you wish.

What's more the course is designed to be flexible enough to fit around work or caring commitments, with on-site teaching focused on just one day of the week.

The curriculum is designed to take your specialisms to an advanced level, including undertaking an extensive independent practical project or dissertation of your choosing, while developing a keen sense of context for those fields.

How you’ll be assessed

You will be assessed through a wide range of assignments throughout the programme. These include musical performance, composition portfolios, written work, research posters, presentations and learning journals, and will be specific to the disciplines and modules that you choose to study.

Your future career

Graduates of the MMus course typically go on to a range of careers which have included portfolio careers in music, performance and composition, working in a professional studio, music education and music research at PhD level.

Modules

Collaborative Practice allows students to explore the considerations, challenges, practices and opportunities that relate to working collaboratively in the creative and cultural industries. Students work on two projects in which they collaborate with at least one other student on the MA Creative & Cultural Industries course, or by agreement with programme staff, an external collaborator, and can take the form of any agreed output relevant to music and the wider arts.
