Ready to follow your passion on a course tailored just for you? Our MMus Music allows you to do just that. Blend your interests across a wide variety of areas.

Is film music more your thing? We cover that too. If you’re more about historical and critical musicology, jazz studies, global music or even music psychology, theory, or analysis, you’ll also find like-minded musicians and academics here at Hull.
Your studies culminate in a large-scale project representing your best work. We’ll build your portfolio through a series of smaller projects using our world-class facilities. Did we mention our music studios rival the industry’s best, including one of the finest ambisonics studios in the UK?
We’ll introduce you to new and different ways of thinking about music and its significance. You can collaborate with students across the School of Arts – from drama, theatre, film, TV, digital design, and games. And you’ll gain hands-on experience with leading music and arts organisations.
