Master of Research in Humanities (Music)

Program Overview

Highly flexible and with a focus on one-to-one supervision throughout the course, you can tailor this MRes around your research and career plans. You’ll graduate with knowledge of research design, methods and processes, together with the creative, critical, reflexive, and analytical mindset that employers desire. The MRes can also be used as a stepping-stone to further research at PhD level.

From the outset, you will be paired with an experienced supervisor to support your personal and professional development, working together to advance your research interests and develop your individual research, writing and communications skills.

On the MRes Humanities (Music) pathway, you’ll be taught by staff with an international reputation for excellence in practice-led research in composition and music technology, and text-based research in musicology. With a focus on 20th and 21st century music, our shared research interests include instrumental and electroacoustic composition, sound design, game audio, aesthetics, music and the moving image, narrative, social context, embodiment and gesture and other related areas.

You'll develop key transferrable skills in research, analysis and communication to enhance your career prospects across a range of sectors or to prepare you for further academic study.

As part of the bespoke Individual Research Orientation module, you’ll agree a tailored learning plan to expand your knowledge, skills and experience. For example, you can learn a foreign language, study subject matter from a different discipline like statistical modelling or improve your ability to read old manuscripts.
