Description

Our PhD Music (Musicology) programme will enable you to develop historical and/or analytical skills at an advanced level, with independence and originality of thought combined with technical skill.

Your supervised research will normally be related in some way to the research interests of a member of staff. These currently include but are not limited to:

medieval and Renaissance music;

English Baroque music;

Baroque music theory and performance practice;

Beethoven and his contemporaries;

music in 19th-century Germany (Mendelssohn, Schubert);

analysis;

20th-century music, especially that of Russia and the Soviet Union;

20th-century symphony;

opera;

music in contemporary culture;

ethnomusicology;

music revivals in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Musicologists and ethnomusicologists will produce an 80,000-word dissertation that presents independent and original research executed at a high standard.

You will be assigned a research panel consisting of your supervisor, a co-supervisor and advisor who will meet with you on a regular basis to monitor your progress.

Postgraduate students are expected to take part in the academic community of the department and the University by participating in seminars and presenting their research at regular intervals.
