Overview
The Music programme offered at Bangor University may be undertaken by musicologists, composers or performers. You will be supervised by world-renowned musicologists, composers and practitioners, and will enjoy intellectual stimulation from visiting speakers and artists.
Careers
A postgraduate research degree is the highest attainable study qualification. During the programme, students will make a significant and original contribution to their subject area and become a leading expert in this field. The learning process, although supervised, is independent, self-motivated and self-directed.
