The MMus in Musicology takes a broad and contemporary approach to musical scholarship, and equips students with the context, skills and critical understanding necessary to undertake original research in this dynamic and increasingly interdisciplinary field.

Students will be taught by leading academics whose research interests cover a broad range of approaches and genres, including:

the cultural and material history of music
music and politics
popular music studies
music analysis
music instrument research
music and audiovisual media
music psychology
jazz studies
The programme allows students to develop specialized skills in researching and writing about music, and to pursue, in greater depth, an area of special research interest. Students will join a large postgraduate community and benefit from a vibrant research culture within the Reid School of Music, which has been a world leader in music research since 1838.
