约克大学音乐学专业-新东方前途出国

Modules

​Projects I and II

You’ll take the modules Project I and Project II (30 credits each) in Terms 1 and 2 respectively, with further teaching in Term 3.

As part of these modules, you’ll attend a weekly seminar related to the Musicology pathway. 

In Project I, you'll examine in detail a selection of western art music dating from the 17th to the 19th century. Each case study will deal with a particular type of music within its historical context.​

In Project II, you’ll investigate a selection of music dating from the 20th and 21st centuries.​

Case studies are based around the expertise of the Department’s staff, so you will be exposed to leading research in the field for each of these seminars that you attend.

Throughout these modules you’ll receive advice, support and feedback from your academic supervisor. You’ll have the freedom to submit work on areas that interest you - our courses are designed to allow maximum flexibility and independence.

Critical Reflection in Musical Practice

Critical Reflection in Musical Practice (20 credits) runs throughout the year. In this module you’ll develop sophisticated ways to articulate critical and reflective outlooks on musicological topics. In Term 1, your classes will introduce some of the research and critical skills needed in order to carry out work at postgraduate level, and in Term 2, you'll explore theories and methods associated with critical musicology.

In Term 3, your classes will prepare you for the MA conference, in which you will deliver a paper on a subject of your choice, and introduce you to further musicological topics based on staff research specialisms.

Please note, modules may change to reflect the latest academic thinking and expertise of our staff.
