A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program entails conducting innovative, long-term research under the guidance of an academic advisor. This advanced degree allows you to pioneer discoveries, tackle significant contemporary challenges, push your limits, and cultivate both specialized and adaptable skills. Delve deeper into your musical passions while examining music through cultural, historical, technical, creative, and performance lenses. The New Zealand School of Music (NZSM) provides a wide selection of courses and research areas to explore. You could specialize in artistic aspects like composition, sonic arts, music technology, or classical/jazz performance, or analyze music from a scholarly viewpoint. NZSM presents diverse subject choices available across various postgraduate music degrees, typically requiring a BMus or BMus(Hons) for admission. Students pursuing non-music postgraduate qualifications, such as a BA(Hons), can adopt an interdisciplinary approach by incorporating music studies that align with their professional aspirations. MA candidates will produce a thesis researching an approved musical subject of their selection.
