The Musicology pathway aims to equip students with core historical and analytical skills as well as enabling them to operate in a field that is broadly interdisciplinary.

The programme features a single core module, allowing students to tailor the content to areas of specific interest with their choice of optional modules. This programme is ideal for those who wish to extend their study of historical musicology and/or ethnomusicology further and explore particular topics in depth, and it can also be used as a route into PhD research.

The MA in Music at the University of Birmingham offers first class, world-recognised staff who are experts in their fields meaning students learn from people who really are the best at what they do.

Students study within the excellent facilities available with the Elgar Concert Hall, which is one of the most flexible concert halls of its type in any UK university.
