Music Education MA

UCL (University College London)

The Music Education MA will introduce students to research and research-informed practice at the forefront of music education. The course will provide tools for interrogating musical and educational assumptions, values and practices. It will help students to expand their understanding of effective music teaching, evaluation and assessment. It will assist them to consider these aspects of music education, and others, across a range of formal and informal educational contexts involving children and adults as participants. Undertaking the Music Education MA course will allow students to develop their critical thinking and ability to interrogate current educational research, literature and practice in the overarching fields of music and music education. They will also have the opportunity to pursue specialist lines of enquiry that are related to their own professional and/or academic interests, working alongside prominent academics in the field. This course is suited to those with a passion for music with a specific interest in music education. Applicants are likely to have had previous experience in teaching, performing, composing, producing, advocating, and/or researching in the fields of music and/or arts education. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
