M.A Musicology

Course description

Engage with a range of specialist areas including Mozart, music of the classical period, Renaissance music, music and visual culture, eighteenth and nineteenth-century style, the concerto genre and the Broadway musical. You'll explore themes such as gender, musical philosophy and culture, the creative process, performance and reception, using a range of methodologies to understand how music is created, disseminated and received.

As well as musicological modules, you may take modules in other areas of the curriculum such as performance, music psychology and world music. Your main assessment will be in the form of an extended dissertation on a topic of your choice, for which you'll receive individual supervision throughout the academic year.
