Doctor of Philosophy (PhD Music)

Ph.D Music - The PhD in Music is available as a full-time programme lasting three years, or a part-time programme lasting five years. It is currently available in all areas in which we can offer supervision, including composition and practice-based research (recorded performances may now be included within a doctoral submission).Doctoral research in the Faculty of Music is centred on individual scholarly activity in fields such as historical musicology, analysis, performance studies, composition, ethnomusicology and music cognition. The overwhelming majority of graduate students in the Faculty are undertaking research that is directly connected with the particular research interests of specific members of the Faculty, and for this reason the best starting point for an application is often to get in touch with whoever’s interests seem most in line with yours.
