It will provide you with the skills and knowledge to devise and deliver participatory community projects and develop research skills based on critical practice, data handling and evaluation. The course covers music in education, health, welfare and recreation and the ability to to move flexibly within these fields. This multifaceted approach is complemented by topics in arts administration and will prepare you to meet the demands and professional requirements of related employment and has proved attractive to recent graduates, mature students and international students.

The programme aims to meet these needs and interests through its wide-ranging course structure that balances breadth of subjects with specialised research projects.
