The Music Department at Durham University (UK) is pleased to announce the
launch of a new specialism in Music and Science within our Taught Masters
(MA) programme, commencing in the 2021-2022 academic year. MA students
specialising in Music and Science will be educated on cutting-edge theories
within music and science research and will be rigorously trained in
methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, and computational methods) with
an emphasis on transparent, reproducible research. Academic staff in our
department have particular expertise on the topics of music and emotion,
music and memory, the psychology and physiology of music performance,
rhythm and synchronisation, corpus studies, and cross-cultural music
perception and cognition. Music and Science students will also complete a
dissertation (reporting results of a substantial empirical project) under
close supervision from a relevant member of academic staff, as well as
taking part in some shared modules with MA students pursuing other
specialisations. A full description of our MA in Music programme is
available here: https://www.dur.ac.uk/music/postgraduate/taught/
Prospective students can read more about the MA in Music and Science
programme and our Music and Science Lab research group here:

We will also be running a free, online Music and Science Open Day,
including research presentations, demos, and a Q&A session about the MA
pathway on Friday, 26 March, 2021. Full details and registration form can
be found here:
