Master of Music and Culture
Program Overview
The MMus Music and Culture degree will appeal to students who wish to prepare for further research in Music and to those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of historical musicology, ethnomusicology and composition. The programme aims to develop students’ analytical research skills, creative capacities and independent critical and reflective thinking and writing, within a supportive research-oriented environment.
We value ambition, dedication, and passion for music in all its forms: critical reflection on music, performance to the highest professional standards, and engagement with composition through writing music, analysis and reflection.
The programme gives students an opportunity to work with scholars of international standing in the School’s core disciplines of historical musicology, ethnomusicology and composition. In keeping with UCD’s aim of bringing the best of Ireland to the world and the best of the world to Ireland, a special focus lies on how the history and the present state of music and musicological discourse in Ireland relate to their international counterparts.
The degree emphasises progression from taught foundational modules, through focused case studies reflecting the School’s major research and creative strengths, to opportunities for independent research and composition. Teaching is in small seminars and requires intensive student preparation. The Graduate Colloquium enables students to present their own research (a twenty-minute paper) in a supportive peer environment. The programme culminates in the writing of either a research dissertation on a topic of the student’s choosing or a composition portfolio.
