Advanced Musical Studies

Music MMus
I chose King’s for postgraduate study for its excellent reputation for studies in Musicology and its renowned teaching staff. The course is wide ranging in scope and provides opportunites to study all aspects of the subject intensively, from analysis to historiography and Baroque music to Contemporary. King’s place a distinct emphasis on independent and individual research, allowing each student the freedom to follow their own personal areas of interest when completing projects within each module of study.



The department staff are hugely supportive and there’s a really friendly atmosphere here. The weekly colloquia provide a great opportunity to encounter a broad range of visiting scholar’s musical research, as well as to make contact with all of the staff and get to know other students within the department. Needless to say, a huge bonus is the location of the Strand Campus right in the centre of London. All of the music venues, galleries and museums that the city has to offer are within easy reach, really enriching the experience of studying here.
