Opting to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy at UNSW enables you to create meaningful, innovative contributions to arts, humanities, or social sciences knowledge. An Arts and Social Sciences PhD delivers advanced research specialization and deep disciplinary expertise within a global framework, unlocking opportunities in academia, research, and professional fields worldwide. UNSW's Music program integrates composition, performance, musicology, teaching methods, and theory to examine musical traditions across cultures. Core research focuses encompass: ethnomusicology and cultural studies (exploring migrant communities' music in Australia, North Indian traditions, Southeast Asian styles, and Ghanaian rhythms); music history; scientific studies of musical perception; emotional responses to music; live performance; creative works (including experimental sound art); teaching methodologies; classical music traditions. Music research candidates may choose between a traditional written dissertation or practice-led investigation, culminating in either a comprehensive thesis or a combined portfolio with academic commentary, both addressing pivotal disciplinary questions.
