Research degree students focus on undertaking an independent research project developed in collaboration with their advisors. Musicologists and ethnomusicologists create an extensive dissertation, while composers assemble a collection of original works paired with an analytical commentary. Under the mentorship of a specialized supervisory team, your progress will be regularly assessed to help ensure the project's successful completion.

The standard minimum entry requirements for Postgraduate Research are an upper second class honours degree (2:1) from a UK university or an equivalent degree qualification from an overseas university. A Masters qualification is a requirement for entry on our PhD programme. Evidence of research skills and/or experience is useful.

Applicants who have not reached this level, can be admitted to a 6-, 10- or 20-week pre-sessional English Language course, with the course length depending on your current UKVI/IELTS score (which must be over 6.0, with no component under 5.5). TOEFL iBT: 92 (no component under 23); 176 (minimum of 169 per component) in Cambridge Scale (CPE or CAE; Pearson Academic (PTE): 62 (with no less than 56 in each Communicative Skill).
