Music
Goldsmiths’ 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 many different areas, from composition to performance, sonic arts to popular music. Supervision is available in any of the areas of specialism outlined above or covered by staff research interests. - You are assigned members of staff qualified to supervise your research throughout your period of registration. Supervision involves regular meetings throughout the period of study and involves the development of an intensive intellectual relationship between you and your supervisor. - You can study full-time or part-time. The programme normally begins in September, but applications for entry in January and April may be considered. - Research students are strongly encouraged to contribute to the university’s research culture. You will have regular opportunities to present papers at seminars and conferences. - Composers can have pieces performed or recorded by Goldsmiths ensembles, including the Sinfonia, or by the Ensembles-in-Residence. - Performers are encouraged to take part in departmental concerts, and may audition for concerto appearances. - You have access to Goldsmiths Graduate School, containing an open-access computer room, a student common room and seminar room for use by postgraduate research students.
