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.
