MA Music

Entry requirements for 卡地夫大學

A first or upper second class Honours degree, or equivalent in a relevant related subject area, such as Music, is required.

Applicants whose first language is not English are expected to have reached a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 (with no subscore less than 5.5).

Application process – You should complete the University’s online application form and upload your supporting documents (two references (preferably academic) and copies of academic transcripts).

Please supply a personal statement which demonstrates your interest in the programme and your background in the field of study.

You should name the pathway you are interested in applying to in your personal statement and also provide the below supporting materials:

Performance

You will need to provide a link to an online audition showing a video performance of two contrasting pieces of music. Face and hands should be visible at all times to show technique. The video recording must not be edited. Your personal statement will need to discuss and evidence your knowledge of performance, style, and technique.

Composition

Experienced composers with relevant qualifications will be considered for the composition specialism. Please supply a personal statement which addresses your style and rationale for your compositions, looking at techniques, imagination and confidence in approach. You will also need to provide three notated scores in either Sibelius, Finale or PDF. Audio links of these pieces would also be helpful but you will not be penalised if these cannot be provided

Music Studies

We welcome applications from students with backgrounds in music and cognate areas e.g. anthropology, history, politics, cultural studies, philosophy, film and media studies. As well as a personal statement, you will be asked to provide an essay which is the best example of your undergraduate work (in English or Welsh). The essay should be of 1,500-2,000 words about a specific topic (e.g., a composer, piece, musical practice) which demonstrates a knowledge of leading scholars, contemporary theories and relevant literature in the field. The essay should include citations and a comprehensive bibliography. Please note that applicants are advised that unless discussing ethnography, narratives about musical experience should be in the personal statement rather than essay sample.
