MMus Music and Culture 2026 - UCD Virtual Masters Week

The cutting-edge research that lies at the heart of our taught MMus programme has both an Irish grounding and a worldwide reach. We offer students the opportunity to work closely with scholars of international standing in the School’s core disciplines of ethnomusicology, historical musicology and composition. Students take foundation modules in two of these three areas. This provides a solid and diverse methodological foundation from which to progress to specialist modules, where students choose from a wide range of topics based on the research specialisms of our staff. Some of these, including “Sounding Ireland Onscreen” and “Contemporary Music in Ireland, Britain and North America,” display the programme’s deep engagement with Irish musical culture. Others enable students to explore musical practices stretching through history and across the globe, from ‘Creating the Musical Self in Medieval Europe’ to ‘A History of Electronic Music’. These specialist studies provide the perfect springboard for students to carry out their own independent research project, with which the programme culminates, resulting either in a dissertation or a portfolio of compositions. Overall, the degree furnishes students with the core intellectual tools for pursuing research and creative practices in musicology, ethnomusicology or composition, while also facilitating specialisation and encouraging independent scholarship. Students form an integral part of our lively, collaborative research culture and engage regularly with visiting seminar speakers. For those students who want to go on to doctoral study, our faculty are experienced in supporting them to develop research ideas and funding proposals. Our graduates also go on to a range of related careers in the arts and cultural heritage sector, media, teaching, and many other professions. The UCD School of Music is one of the leading centres for graduate musical study in Ireland and a QS World Top 100 Performing Arts department. Apply here: https://hub.ucd.ie/usis/!W_HU_MENU.P_...
