MMus by Research Music in Bangor United Kingdom | Bangor University

Our Masters by Research programs require students to complete a predefined course of study and research (typically designed by the student), which usually consists of either (a) a thorough assessment and examination of a specific area of knowledge, or (b) an innovative addition to the field. For the MMus by Research, projects typically incorporate composition or performance as key components of the research process and final submission.
Every student is assigned a supervisory team, including a primary supervisor, a personal tutor, and an additional faculty member with relevant specialization. Research candidates meet regularly with their primary supervisor (usually every two weeks) and may consult other committee members as needed. They are also encouraged to share progress updates through seminars and colloquia throughout their studies.
