Program Overview

Our approach is multidisciplinary: we employ a variety of academic approaches and draw upon the University's expertise in a range of disciplines including sociology, cultural studies, musicology, and politics.
You will be studying in the city of Glasgow, with its vibrant and exciting music scene—the UK’s first UNESCO City of Music—an unbeatable location for the programme.
Glasgow boasts a tremendous variety of music venues that showcase an array of genres, styles, and scenes. Among the world-leading establishments are the OVO Hydro, the Royal Concert Hall, and a vast network of grassroots locations. Explore a map of the city's music venues created by staff and students.
The city is also home to a wide range of music businesses and organisations, including festivals, venues, promoters, recording studios, labels, and media companies. Explore a directory of the city's music organisations created by staff and students.
You will benefit from access to our facilities including a number of study spaces, practice rooms, an audio lab, studios, and the University’s concert hall.
You will have the opportunity to contribute to the Glasgow Music City website, created and maintained by students and staff from the Music Industries programme. It is a forum for new ideas, research and debates about working in music, as well as the relationship between cities and their music.
