Postgraduate Diploma in Music

The PGDipMus is a 120-point programme of focussed study to hone your skills and development in preparation for the professional world. Whether you are a performer, composer or musicology student, you will focus exclusively on your area of specialisation and further develop the required intellectual and creative skills to thrive in the industry.

The structure of your PGDipMus depends on your area of interest. Through a combination of taught courses and a final performance, dissertation or portfolio submission, your musical knowledge and aptitude develops, with the aim of preparing you to enter the industry.

You can choose to take supporting courses in areas such as historical performance practice, advanced analysis and theory, improvisation, choral studies or music education, and undertake supervised research in a topic of interest.

You may also choose to include courses in subjects beyond music, following discussions with the relevant School advisers.

Courses from the BMus(Hons) schedule: At least 90 points
Other postgraduate courses: Up to 30 points (with approval)
