Graduate Study Days

Departmental Graduate Study Days happen once a semester and provide a fantastic opportunity for graduates and staff to share their ongoing research. Graduate students present their research, performances and compositions to other members of the music department. These presentations are a requirement for students upgrading or nearing completion of their research.

Presentations normally take the form of a 20 minute spoken paper with an additional ten minutes for questions. However, other formats are possible: for example, short performances and/or playing of compositions often accompanies spoken papers.

A call for papers goes out via email to all graduates once a semester, and selection of speakers is based on abstract submission to the Head of Graduate Studies.

Dates and details of forthcoming Study Days can be found via the "Events" pages of the Music Department web pages.
