This MMus Performance course is ideal for proficient instrumental or vocal performers who wish to further enhance their musical and artistic development through focused study. On this programme you will refine your technical and interpretative skills on your chosen instrument or voice. This MMus Performance allows you to acquire a deeper understanding of contemporary and historical contexts relating to instrumental or vocal pedagogy, and develop pathways and methodologies to undertake specialist practice-based research. You will also hone high-level transferable skills in critical thinking, conceptual thinking, problem-solving, analysis, communication, self-direction and originality.

You can work closely with professional tutors, accompanists, and established researchers, many of whom have international profiles.
