PhD Music Performance

University of Hull

Music at Hull has a long-standing history of high quality research and our programmes have been designed to be flexible to enable you to pursue your chosen specialism in a supportive and productive environment with individual supervision for all specialist modules. Our Music research degrees are available full-time, part-time and, where appropriate, for distance learners and our staff are active researchers, so you can access wide-ranging expertise quickly and easily. In terms of our campus, we've invested £9.5 million to transform Middleton Hall into a world-class cultural venue and bring some of the best facilities of their kind in the UK to the University of Hull. These include a concert hall, surround-sound cinema, ambisonic surround sound recording studio and industry-standard rehearsal facilities. The refurbishment includes a new entrance and cafe with a 400-plus seater concert hall forming the centre-piece of the development. The versatile space is ideal for classical and popular music concerts. With adaptable acoustics, it will also be used for music, theatre and cinema screenings. We also host up to 45 public performances every year and contribute regularly to musical events in the region, including Early Music festivals, jazz festivals and community projects as well as running the prestigious Newland Lectures in which renowned international academics, composers and music industry figures discuss their work in detail.
