Liverpool, University of, MMus, Music

The School of Music at University of Liverpool’s School of the Arts is one of the most innovative departments in the country. The approach to study all kinds of music is imaginative and forward-looking, and brings together students from all kinds of musical backgrounds. At Liverpool, students benefit from expert teaching in many fields of music and can tailor their studies to focus on areas of interest.

Across the School, the research activity has a strong interdisciplinary nature and is concentrated in three cross-cutting areas:

• Critical and Contextual Approaches
• Creative Practice
• Media and Industry Studies.

The school of Music is at the forefront of research and postgraduate teaching. Institute of Popular Music (IPM) was the first academic centre created specifically to study popular music – and where better than in the home of the Beatles? It also boasts an enviable archive of donated recorded material.
