Program Overview

At the centre of the MMus in Music is an extended project where the student can realise a large-scale project with support and supervision from specialist staff. The medium of the project will be determined by the student’s interests and research and our programme offers considerable flexibility in approach. This allows our students to build a significant portfolio of work that will work as a springboard toward their future careers whether it is in their chosen industry or in academia.

In addition to the extended project, our students take a mix of compulsory and optional courses. The MMus Programme Coordinator discusses options with individual students to ensure the best fit between available courses and student interests.

The aim of the programme is threefold:

To provide a natural development from undergraduate programmes, both within and outwith the University of Aberdeen, to postgraduate study in the university in the areas of composition, community music, musicology, music education, performance or sonic arts or any combination of these paths;
To help the students develop and explore options in their future careers in academia or in industry;
To continue to develop the research environment in the Department of Music.

Entry Requirement
For State and Central Universities we would look for a minimum of 60% for programmes requiring a 2.2 degree.
For Private and Deemed Universities we would look for a minimum of 65% for programmes requiring a 2.2 degree.
While the above is a general guide we understand that the marking system in some states and national universities make it harder to achieve 60%, therefore we will accept 55% from the University of Mumbai, University of Calcutta, University of Delhi etc. among others. Graduates from the IITs and IIMs will also be considered with marks in the region of 55%.

Career Prospect

Students entering the MMus might have specific career aspirations from the start, i.e., composition or musicology, or they may want to use the programme as a route to further study (i.e., a PhD). We also welcome students wishing to generalise and simply learn more about their subject.

The courses are designed for in-depth work and to enable students to understand and experience a number of different aspects of music research and the music profession. The degree can also be used as an entry to other professions, as is the case with other postgraduate degrees, where subject specialism is not important.
