Course Overview

Become the musician you want to be with a flexible taught-Masters degree at Hull.

The MMus programme is sector-leading, allowing unequalled specialisation and mixing of interests in a wide variety of areas, including performance, composition (acoustic, electroacoustic, sonic arts), conducting, music technology, recording, production, pedagogy, film music, aesthetics, philosophy, semiotics, historical and critical musicology, jazz studies, popular music studies, music psychology, theory and analysis.

This course is aimed at those interested in pursuing their study of music to a higher level and equips students with a wide range of transferable skills. Obtaining the MMus opens up career possibilities in music and many other fields where skills in critical enquiry and a demonstration of advanced aptitude are essential.

This programme provides you with many opportunities, such as internships, through our professional partnerships and a range of international visiting speakers, including composers, performers, and academics, to expose you to key individuals in the field.

General Eligibility

It would be best if you typically held an Honours degree in Music (2.1 or above) or an international equivalent. In some instances, we may require you to attend an interview.

 With your application, please submit a relevant sample of work as per below depending on the area(s) of study you are interested in:

  • Performance: a video recording of a recent performance containing two contrasting pieces up to 10 minutes.

  • Composition: a sample of two recent pieces of composition work in either score and recorded format up to 10 minutes.

  • Technology: two pieces of recent work (this could include studio production, sound design, programming, etc.) in an appropriate format totalling 10 minutes duration (or equivalent)

  • Musicology: a sample of written work, including one or two essays totalling approximately 5,000 words.


To ensure our students have a rich learning and student experience, most of our programmes have a mix of domestic and international students. We reserve the right to close applications early to either group if application volumes suggest this blend cannot be achieved. In addition, existing undergraduate students at the University of Hull have a guaranteed ‘Fast Track’ route to any postgraduate programme, subject to meeting the entry criteria (excluding Social Work).

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 5.5 in each skill.
