PhD Music
Overview
In a UNESCO City of Music with a wealth of musical institutions, organizations, festivals and events, our PhD students also have an opportunity to both study and participate through partnership with locally based cultural and creative industries.

- Heritage and history
- Non-Western musics
- Composition (with a particular emphasis on its intersection with technology)
