the Music Department at Glasgow University

Had a recent comment on our e-mentoring blog asking about the Music Department at Glasgow University. I will do my best to answer the questions that came up but I myself did not study in the Music department so can only advise as an outsider based on what I know.

The Department of Music at the university takes an interesting approach to learning about music as they integrate practical and non-practical forms together. Depending on whether you are an undergraduate and postgraduate applying into the program they offer quiet a diverse range of courses, therefore there will likely be courses that are of interest to you whether its classical music – medieval and renaissance or romantics the university really offers everything any music lover would want.

One of the biggest features of the undergraduate program is the flexibility. The undergraduates programs offers degrees in Bachelor of Music , Master of Arts , or Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics with Music.

The postgraduate program really is the ethos of the Music Department. As a postgraduate you can purse degrees such as Mlitt in Popular Music Studies , a Master of Music (Mmus), or a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Letters (MLitt).

One of the biggest perks being in the Music Department is the connection’s that they have to professional ensembles across the UK, such as the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Paragon Ensemble and many more!!!

For further information on the Music Department at Glasgow University have a read over their website – you can find loads more information on the department, courses and also contacts within the university.

Hope this helps answer some of your queries.
