Course summary

Music at Glasgow has a dynamic, supportive but rigorous research culture with a strong sense of community linked by ideas and practice.

Music PhDs at Glasgow comprise a process of research over 3 years full-time or 5 years part-time that leads to either a thesis that may be supported by practical work, or a portfolio of practical work supported by a written component. If your work is centred on cultural or historical musicology, this provides great opportunity to support your main thesis with performance, edition or other forms of musical practice. If you are a composer, improvisor, or sonic artist, this provides a great opportunity to develop your creative work and present this as a substantial piece of practice research.

Topics in which we would welcome postgraduate research include:

Composition, including experimental music, intercultural aspects of composition and music and the moving image

Historical and cultural musicology, including philosophy and aesthetics of music, music in popular culture, music and politics and music and modernism.

Sonic arts and audiovisual practice, including live electronics, spatial composition and sound design and sound art aesthetics

Performance, including historically informed performance and contemporary music practices.
