Our MusM Music (Ethnomusicology) course offers a solid master’s-level foundation in ethnomusicology.
You will be able to choose units and a dissertation/critical edition topic that best matches your special interests and aspirations. The taught units encompass a wide range of topics and approaches, from gender and ethnicity, music and conflict, music revivals and performance culture, to postcolonial theory and the politics of ethnography.
Seminars allow for close collaboration between lecturers and students, with ample opportunity for you to present your own work and receive individual feedback. Discussion and debate forms an important part of most course units.
You can also choose to take a placement unit where you will spend a minimum of 20 days over a period of up to 12 weeks with an arts and cultural organisation, business or service provider to gain valuable workplace experience.
Applicants should hold a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree, or its overseas equivalent, in a relevant subject. While many applicants will come from a Music background, applicants from other disciplinary backgrounds (e.g. Anthropology, Cultural Studies, or area studies) who can demonstrate an appropriate level of musical knowledge and experience will also be considered. In exceptional circumstances we may consider relevant professional experience as an alternative route to entry.
