Overview

Ready to follow your passion on a course tailored just for you? Our MMus Music allows you to do just that.

Blend your interests across a wide variety of areas. From performance to composition, your studies could hone in on any of the spectrum of musical fields.

Into game audio? No worries. Is film music more your thing? We cover that too. If you’re more about historical and critical musicology, jazz studies, global music or even music psychology, theory, or analysis, you’ll also find like-minded musicians and academics here at Hull.

Your studies culminate in a large-scale project representing your best work. We’ll build your portfolio through a series of smaller projects using our world-class facilities. Did we mention our music studios rival the industry’s best, including one of the finest ambisonics studios in the UK?

With this MMus Music degree offered at The University of Hull we’ll introduce you to new and different ways of thinking about music and its significance. You can collaborate with students across the School of Arts – from drama, theatre, film, TV, digital design, and games. And you’ll have opportunities for practical experience with the likes of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC, Opera North, and Absolutely Cultured.

Future prospects

The aim of studies on the MMus is to link your abilities directly to industry-led areas of music and employment. As such, preparation for employment is both vocationally-orientated and intellectually broadening.

You’ll be able to get involved with a range of music opportunities such as participating in ensembles, running collaborative projects, organising your own projects and preparing performances. These opportunities will develop transferable skills beneficial in a wide range of careers as well as music.
