Study Details: MA 1 Year FT, 2 Years PT
The Music Department at Kingston welcomes UK, EU and international students to study for a Music Education MA. The programme is designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and understanding of both current and prospective music educators. You learn through academic study and practice within both a UK and international music education context.
You will have the unique opportunity to investigate the UK system of music education, consider major issues in international music education research and undertake a comparative study of music education practices across different cultures. You will develop and implement a musical project within an educational environment and undertake a substantial research project on a topic of your own choice.
Alongside this core of study, which encompasses key research issues in music as well as in music education, you can choose from a variety of option modules and develop new skills to exploit in your own teaching. You can also choose one optional module from a wide range of subjects.
As part of the broader musical community you will also be able to further enhance your performance skills by participating in some of the many University ensembles
