Do you want to develop your performance skills or music teaching practice? Or are you passionate about pursuing a performance-based research project? Or maybe you would like to perform with industry professionals (e.g. from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra)? Or to professionalise your current profile as a musician and/or teacher?

The MMus Performance at the University of Liverpool offers:

• Development of solo and ensemble performance
• Development of teaching practice (solo, group and complementary approaches)
• Development of research skills and research projects appropriate to performance
• Opportunities to perform with members of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra for performance assessments
• Opportunities to do other performance work beyond standard recitals (e.g. recording and videos)

Students from the taught postgraduate programmes in the department of Music have gone on to a wide range of careers, including various positions in the music industries, museums, arts administration, journalism, publishing, and teaching. PhDs in Music are in full-time lectureships around the world (e.g. Canada, Sweden). This programme has been recognised by the AHRC as appropriate training for advanced research, and prepares students for a level of further training equivalent to doctoral study.
