About

The Music (Composition) programme offered by the University of Bristol is a centre of research excellence in both composition and musicology.

Visit the official programme website for more information

Overview

In composition, there is no particular house style, but we are well known for a number of areas, including:

  • acoustic music, ranging from solo to symphonic scale;
  • electro-acoustic, including acousmatic composition, live electronics, and mixed forms with instrument/voice;
  • composition exploring the interface of Western and non-Western traditions.

The Music (Composition) programme offered by the University of Bristol  also provides access to a wide network of opportunities for professional and amateur performance.

Careers

A significant number of graduates from this programme develop careers in higher education or work on high-level research projects in the field of music; others take up careers as composers and musicians.

Programme Structure

  • MPhil (Composition, Musicology): a standalone, one-year (full-time) research degree. Students will undertake their own research project, concluding in the submission of a portfolio of 25–35 minutes of music and an analytical/contextual commentary (c.4,000–5,000 words), or a 25,000-word dissertation. Students may have the option to audit units from our taught master's programmes if they are relevant to their research.
