Key Summary
A Master's at BIMM is the next step if you want to further develop yourself academically, creatively, and professionally after your degree.
Research, collaboration, professional development, experimentation, 1-2-1 guidance, and more. This is what our MA Popular Music Practice offers you. Over a full twelve-month period of study – or 24 months if you choose our part-time option – you’ll be pushed to expand upon everything you know, moving you away from the skills-based style of undergraduate learning and towards becoming an influential and unique voice in your industry.
Our clearly defined course structure is intelligently composed to cover theoretical, practical, and collaborative elements. It culminates in a major project of your choice focusing on one of the following paths: performance, production, composition, or entrepreneurship. The path that you choose for your major project will be the specialism stated on your final qualification.
Choose your specialism and focus on performance, production, composition, or entrepreneurship.
