Description
Royal College of Music has opted into the TEF and received a Gold award.
The RCM research community currently includes approximately 50 doctoral research students working in all of its key areas. The RCM's doctoral awards are specialist research degrees that particularly encourage research in the areas of performance, composition, musicology and performance science. As a doctoral student, you will work with at least two supervisors in addition to attending group tutorials and seminars relevant to your particular area of research. In addition, you will be expected to take an active role within the research life of the Royal College of Music. The RCM's doctoral programme offers both a DMus and PhD pathway, and it is possible during the degree to move between pathways depending on how your individual research project evolves. DMus students will submit a substantial portfolio of practical work in performance or composition and write an extended commentary of between 20,000 and 50,000 words, contextualising your research.
