Hi All,
Apologies for making an off-topic post, but I wanted to make people aware of
our new Music MA programme. We've spent a considerable amount of time
developing it, and we feel that what we've come up with is arguably the most
exciting masters programme in music in the UK. It's starting up at an opportune
moment, coinciding with our moving into new facilities, the £16 million Bramall
Music Building, which includes new studios, concert spaces designed for BEAST
and electronic music, etc.
I should also mention that there are four fees scholarships available for study
on this programme, two for home/EU applicants, and two for students from
overseas. The application deadline for those is April 26th, and information on
how to apply is available here:
http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/calgs/scholarships/pgtfunding.aspx
Obviously, given the history of our place, we're very happy to have people
interested in spatial audio. Details on relevant pathways are available below.
If you have any questions please direct them to me, off-list, needless to say.
Best,
Scott

Music MA
This MA is a flexible programme designed to cater for those with a wide range
of interests and specialisms. It is conceived as a 'next step' after the
undergraduate degree, either as a stepping stone to research, as a
qualification for teaching in the FE sector or simply to satisfy a thirst for
development.
While some modules are common to all pathways others cater more directly to
your interests in musicology, performance or composition. You are encouraged to
design your own path through the programme in consultation with the convenor.
Where appropriate to your research interests, this can include modules from
outside music, such as language study or ethnography. You will complete the
course with a dissertation, recital, or composition portfolio.
Composition and Open Pathways:
Mixed Composition
Electroacoustic Composition/Sonic Art
Instrumental/Vocal Composition
Open Pathway without Performance
Open Pathway with Performance
