What will I learn?

Music Theatre invites you to work across media to challenge disciplinary boundaries. You’ll study with expert faculty to produce a performance work. You’ll support this with a portfolio of practical research activities or compositions and critical writing. You’ll also have access to our specialist facilities. Our supervisors have experience both inside and outside of the academy, with particular expertise in: art practice production modernity. We welcome research proposals in the history and theory of opera and music theatre as well as artistic practice. Situated within the transdisciplinary culture of the School of Media, Arts and Humanities, we encourage applications from varied disciplinary backgrounds. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. You’ll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil.
