About

The Music PhD programme from University of York may be proposed in any area closely related to the research interests of current members of staff (see staff profiles). 

Overview

Within this Music PhD programme from University of York students work independently with regular supervision from their research supervisor, and attend research seminars (normally four each term).

Key Features:

  • Students of the Music programme from University of York are required to attend these sessions which aim to encourage an exchange of ideas amongst a range of disciplines and approaches. Whilst 'research' fosters the idea of specialisation, this should not be at the expense of working in isolation; the broader context is always to be encouraged. 
  • It is important that research students retain an awareness of areas of study outside of their chosen specialism, especially those who intend to teach within Higher Education, if they are to be effective in their work. During the academic year, all members of the group should be prepared to lead a seminar discussion based on their particular specialism with a view to engaging with those working outside that area; these contributions form part of the official upgrading (from MPhil to PhD) process.

Career:

  • seeking to reach a professional standard of academic research and to pursue a career in either Higher Education or areas of professional practice;
  • working professionally in any field of music and wishing to make a career move into teaching and research in Higher Education;
  • working in any field of music and wishing to develop their careers with the production of a substantial piece of original research.

  • Music and Language in the Works of Samuel Beckett
