Overview

The Music programme will teach you the necessary skills, techniques and methodologies to work at an advanced level with a critical awareness of relevant music disciplines. Operating over the widest range of style and practice, we’ll work closely with you in your musical development.

Career opportunities

By joining the MMus Music programme from University of Surrey , you will be part of a diverse and collaborative community of performers, composers, film-makers, animators, theorists, producers and sound engineers. You’ll graduate from our course as an independent and successful contemporary musician with the fullest knowledge of theory, practical skill, critical reflection and creativity. You’ll study a range of interlinked practices, including performance, composition, musicology and relevant skills in music technology. You will be able to specialise in any or several of these areas, preparing you for a future career in music. You’ll learn about the current developments within the contemporary theory and practice of music, so that you can work confidently and constructively within the musical culture of the present. Current MMus graduates are successful composers, producers, performers, conductors, educators and researchers, active in a range of musical disciplines. 100 per cent of Music and Media postgraduate students at the University of Surrey go on to employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2024, HESA).
