Critical Research Cultures
This module gives you the opportunity to explore the cutting-edge developments in music research in dialogue with the Hartley Series or Work in Progress (WiP) sessions. You will learn from distinguished visiting academics who will share aspects of their latest work in an informal “round table” setting, alongside members of the music department and PhD researchers.
Contributors to the Hartley Series and WiPs represent a wide variety of music research, including musicology, composition, production, performance and creative practice-based research.
You will examine how research projects are shaped, communicated, and evaluated, developing your own understanding of what good research looks like and how to contribute to scholarly conversation. -

Critical Theory
Through a series of lectures delivered by staff from across the department, and invited guests, this module introduces students to some of the key areas of contemporary theoretical discourse that influence cultural and creative practice. This module aims to broaden the students’ theoretical horizons and inform their artistic practices. The module is intentionally designed to bridge the historical art theory emphasis of much undergraduate education and the higher theoretical demands now placed on artists pursuing doctoral research.
For assessment, students are required to propose, research and write a short essay on a theoretical area of their choice, that relates to their studio practice. The module thereby provides an opportunity to locate themselves within this theoretical discourse, and to begin to articulate their own critical voice in relation to major contemporary arguments in critical theory. This academic writing task is important in preparing students both for further study at doctoral level and for the proposal writing aspects of professional practice beyond the institution. -
