9 Month
The MPhil in Music is a nine-month freestanding programme offering advanced training in key areas of musical studies, while at the same time providing preparation for doctoral research. Its main aims are to equip students with research skills and experience beyond the first-degree level: critical awareness of issues and trends, informed by current research, across a broad spectrum of music studies; the opportunity to acquire or develop research skills and expertise relevant to a specified area of musical scholarship; experience in carrying out focused research under close supervision; and the opportunity for composers to acquire or develop the technical skills required to bridge the gap between undergraduate work and composition at a professional level.
