Overview

Music Performance Studies is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Music is assessed on the work you produce rather than on examinations, which changes how the year is paced.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
