About

We offer a phd degree in Music Research at the King's College London. The department has an international reputation for music research in history, theory, anthropology/ethnography, composition, and creative practice. 

Overview

We are particularly strong in Western music from the twelfth century to the present day, jazz, opera, film music, performance studies, and the music of the Middle East, South and South East Asia, Latin America, and West Africa.

Features 

  • Music Research PhDs at King's College London can be co-supervised with other arts & humanities or social sciences departments at King's, or with a department at another of our London Arts & Humanities Partnership (LAHP) partners.
  • As a department, we believe in the complete equality of all areas of music research, and welcome students from all backgrounds, especially those who are currently under-represented in musicology, ethnomusicology, performance, and composition.

Programme Structure

Recent publications:

  • Lessons in Love and Violence, and Written on Skin, operas (George Benjamin).
  • The Influence of Technology on Performance: Classical Perspectives (Amy Blier-Carruthers).
