Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You must hold an honours degree or its equivalent to study for our MA in Music course. Your degree need not be in music but you must have the basic skills expected of a graduate in that area. The part 1 module will bring you up to date with the latest ideas and approaches in the subject, but does not offer remedial undergraduate training for those who have an inappropriate bachelors degree and inadequate experience. Before you embark on the MA you must be able to:
- write clear, concise, grammatically correct and accurately spelt prose
- read large quantities of text quickly, accurately and critically
- classify evidence precisely and assess its value and reliability
- argue logically, consistently and sceptically
- marshal various sorts of evidence to support a logical argument
- be literate in music, to the extent that you can follow an orchestral score and know which instrument is playing.
English Proficiency: IELTS 5.5 or equivalent.
