Manchester is one of the best places in the UK for postgraduate study in Music. It offers a stimulating and supportive environment for research and composing, with a good range of programmes in musicology and composition.
We have excellent facilities, including a good range of instruments, listening equipment, computers and electronic studios and a new £6M building, including a new Concert Hall.
