- My name's Mark Slater.
I'm the programme director
for the MMus degree here at the University of Hull.
The MMus is designed for both researchers
and practitioners who want to take their knowledge
and love of music to the next advanced level.
The degree programme is built around a series of pathways
that you will choose that will guide you through
to your most ambitious, exciting work to date.
The degree programme is built around five modules,
which broadly divide into two areas,
half of which are about you carrying out
original project work,
and the other half give you the skills and techniques
and the critical and conceptual understanding to be able
to situate your work in the broader picture.
All of your activity on the MMus will be supported
by some exceptional facilities here at the University,
including rehearsal and performance spaces,
as well as some world-leading recording facilities.
The MMus is designed around a series of pathways
that you will choose at the start of your degree,
and they will guide you through
to your most ambitious work to date.
Pathways for researchers include musicology,
music psychology, and music education,
and for practitioners, you might choose to be a performer,
a composer, a music producer,
somebody working in the music industry,
or somebody working in songwriting, for example.
The staff team here at the University
have a wide range of interests and specialisms,
and they'll be there to support you
as you develop your skills and techniques.
Students from this programme sometimes go on to study PhDs
and go into higher education,
and others also go into the music industry.
