Postgraduate

Studying Music with us here in the heart of London means you are close to many of the capital’s world-class music venues and taught by staff who passionately believe in the central role of music in today’s culture.   

Our research strengths include music and cultural history from the medieval period to the twenty-first century, composition and performance studies, opera, jazz and film music, the ethnomusicology of South Asia, Latin American and the Middle East. Composers benefit from workshops given by visiting professional musicians including the ensemble Lontano. 

You’ll also be able to enjoy our student societies including King’s College London Symphony Orchestra, the Chapel Choir and GKT Music Society as well as our newly renovated music practice rooms.

As well as offering all King's students a discount on Evening & Saturday Language Courses, the Modern Language Centre supports the studies of our postgraduate students by offering credit-bearing modules and non credit-bearing modules (PG-only) free of charge.

Learning a language as a postgraduate student will encourage you to develop the ways in which you learn and retain information. The MLC's postgraduate-only courses focus on reading and speaking skills and revolve around the student's own research.
