Key Summary

    About: The Music postgraduate degree program offers an in-depth exploration of musical theory, composition, and performance. It provides opportunities to engage in practical and theoretical projects while collaborating with experienced faculty and fellow students. The program encourages creativity across various musical styles and traditions, preparing students for advanced study or professional careers in music.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers as musicians, music educators, composers, sound engineers, or music therapists. Other paths include roles in music management, arts administration, or sound design for media and entertainment.

Students work closely with professors—internationally recognized theorists, composers, performers, and musicologists—to investigate music in global, historical, and theoretical contexts. Courses encourage creative and critical thinking and emphasize music as an art form as well as a rigorous discipline. Students are exposed to music from a wide variety of past and present world cultures and can select courses in music history and theory, musicianship, performance, conducting, composition, world music, jazz history, American popular music, and African drumming.

The collaborative major in music and computation includes music and computer science courses allowing for focused study in computer-generated music and consideration of how it has shaped musical taste and culture.
