ICCMR has established a strong reputation for pioneering work in this domain, while BRIC represents the cutting-edge neuroimaging facility in the UK's South West region. Participants will gain access to research labs at both ICCMR and BRIC, collaborating with top specialists across music technology, AI, and neuroscience.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants are expected to have either a good 2:1 or first class honours undergraduate degree, as well as completed a masters level qualification on a relevant topic, including (but not limited to) music technology, engineering, computer science, psychology or neuroscience. In exceptional cases, candidates with alternative qualification(s) and/or substantial professional experience may qualify. Please enquire.
If you do not have a masters level qualification, we recommend to consider starting with ResM Computer Music. Students who make good progress in the ResM programme can progress directly into the PhD Brain-Computer Music Interface programme after 12-18 months. In this case the ResM period counts towards the PhD.
If English is not your first language, you must have proficiency in written and spoken English (normally a minimum test score of 6.5 for IELTS, or equivalent). Given the nature of the programme, you'll be expected to read and engage with complex theoretical texts and debates for which fluency in English is essential.
TOEFL IBT – 90
Minimum Component Scores - Component scores of listening 17, reading 18, speaking 20, writing 18
