Key Summary
The National University of Singapore (NUS) Master of Music Leadership (MMusL), is offered by the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music (YST).
MMusL is a graduate coursework programme designed to support musicians who want to advance their skills and be leaders of change within the rapidly evolving musical landscape in Singapore and the world.
With an emphasis on entrepreneurship and innovation, the MMusL programme equips graduates to keep pace with the changes wrought by rapid technological development, digitalisation of the music profession and the societal need for inter- and cross-disciplinary competencies and collaboration. Flexibility is also integrated into the curriculum to aid in developing each student’s unique artistic trajectory. Graduates will thus emerge with an increased versatility that will allow them to adapt more quickly and effectively in their current and future career paths.
With access to various world-class faculties within the National University of Singapore (NUS), the MMusL curriculum adopts an interdisciplinary approach to increase students’ understanding of the musical ecosystem, diversify their skillsets and promote critical thinking. Through this, students cultivate leadership skills with artistic excellence and cross-domain capabilities embedded within three curricular components – Core modules (inclusive of a Capstone Project), Graduate Certificate in Music Perspectives and Practices, and Free Elective modules.
