Description:
The School of Music offers three Research Degree programmes which are examined by written thesis: the MA by Research (30,000 words), the MPhil (60,000 words), and the PhD (100,000 words). Alternatively, candidates can be examined in practice-based research by submission of a portfolio of recorded performances (MPhil/PhD in Performance) or a portfolio of compositions (MPhil/PhD in Composition), supported by an extended written commentary (15,000-50,000 words). Research students in performance and composition also benefit from support and networking opportunities via the Centre for Practice-Led Research in the Arts (CePRA).
All of these programmes enable candidates to pursue advanced, independent research under the guidance of one or two specialist supervisors.
