Masters and PHD Studies
Keele’s taught Masters of Research (M.Res.) degrees in Music or Music Technology offer students the opportunity to produce a substantial piece of independent research, under the supervision of specialised scholars, and to undertake wide-ranging, systematic training in research skills. Depending on the area of research chosen, students will plan, research and produce an extended dissertation, a composition portfolio, a recital or a music technology project. All students locate their specific topic within the context of relevant debates within their discipline and the humanities more generally. The course is an ideal preparation for students who wish to proceed to doctoral research, but also develops practical and critical skills that can be deployed in a variety of professional and intellectual contexts. Further information here: Masters.
Keele’s MPhil and PhD by research degrees in Music and Music Technology are available to those wishing to pursue research at the highest level in the areas of composition (whether acoustic or electroacoustic); musicology (whether historical, critical or analytical); music technology (composition and software development); and performance. Funding for UK students may be possible through the Arts and Humanities Research Council. In all instances, we encourage applicants to discuss potential funding with us at the earliest opportunity.
