Overview
The research degree in composition aims to foster skills as students navigate an exciting new musical world, which combines tradition and innovation, bringing together instruments and the latest in high technology.
On this programme students can create musical and sonic artworks using electroacoustics and computer technology, traditional (and not so traditional) instrumental and vocal composition, or a combination of these aspects. Projects involving interactive systems, multimedia, and sound installations are also welcome, and students are encouraged to find their own individual path.
The MA by Research requires students to attend a Departmental training programme as and both are assessed on the submission of a portfolio of compositions.
MA by Research – the portfolio should have a total duration of between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the nature and size of the forces used, to be agreed with the supervisor.
Please be advised that this programme requires a supervisor.
