MPhil/PhD Music

The Goldsmiths’ Department of Music has a lively and varied research base, large postgraduate community, active performing tradition, and offers proximity to London’s resources. Staff research interests are correspondingly diverse and wide-ranging, and we offer research supervision in any of these areas of specialism. Students are assigned members of staff qualified to supervise their research throughout their period of registration. Supervision involves regular meetings throughout the period of study, and involves the development of an intensive intellectual relationship between students and their supervisor. North American applicants especially should note that the British system does not include preparatory taught classes or examinations as part of the MPhil/PhD programme, except for an initial course in research methods.
