Studying an MA in Music at Kingston University could lead to a range of careers, both in the industry or in a related field. Previous graduates have gone on to work in performance, teaching, publishing, outreach, composition and more. If you’re already employed, this programme could accelerate your promotion prospects.
During the course, you’ll explore research methods alongside hands-on, creative learning. You’ll focus on a particular area of your choice for a major written or composition folio project – a great way to showcase your skills and prepare for future opportunities. Kingston’s music courses focus on creativity, which makes this programme perfect for taking your composition or performance skills to the next level.
Outside the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to join University ensembles and form your own. Throughout the year, you’ll be able to attend masterclasses and workshops with performers and composers, as well as live performances at London’s major venues.
