Overview

Building on the shared first year with MMus students, in year two you will be supported to develop three projects across the year including the Creative Platform, an opportunity to curate and produce your own event. There is also the option to write for chamber orchestra, with players drawn from the LSO working alongside instrumentalists from Guildhall’s Orchestral Artistry programme.

During the second year, creative projects are developed and designed by students themselves, with a greater degree of curatorial freedom; in the first year projects are set, designed and provided by the department.

Key Facts

It is also possible for Composition programme from Guildhall School of Music & Drama students to study the shared first year with MMus students part-time. Please note that studying part-time provides you with the time to develop your performance and academic skills over a two-year period; it does not mean that you will be required for half of the time. It is not possible to engage part-time for ensemble rehearsals and performances. Therefore, while your academic workload will be less, your performing and rehearsal schedule will be as busy as if you were a full-time student. The final MComp year is full-time only.
