The department is globally recognized for its music research spanning history, theory, anthropology, ethnography, composition, and creative practice. Our expertise shines in areas like film music, jazz, opera, performance studies, Western music from medieval times to contemporary works, and the musical traditions of Latin America, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and West Africa. PhD candidates have the opportunity for joint supervision with other arts & humanities or social sciences departments at King's, or with departments at our London Arts & Humanities Partnership (LAHP) institutions. We uphold the principle of equal value across all music research fields and encourage applications from diverse backgrounds, particularly from groups currently underrepresented in musicology, ethnomusicology, performance, and composition.
