A Ph.D. at Birmingham Conservatoire will help you create opportunities to develop research skills that support performance, composition, or a scholarly career.
Whether you are interested in music (including composition, music technology, musicology, performance, and jazz) or performing arts (theatre, acting, directing, applied drama, dance, and interdisciplinary performance practice), you will be supervised by leading experts in the field.
Choosing to study in a conservatoire environment allows you access to top-level performers, enabling you to situate your research in an environment of practical music-making and acting.
What's covered in the course?
A Ph.D. enables you to follow a programme of self-directed, independent study, supported by experienced supervisors who are themselves experts in their area. Birmingham Conservatoire operates a system whereby you are able to assign your allocated hours to a number of specialist advisors, allowing you to tailor the support you need to the requirements of your own project.
Whilst you will be developing as an independent researcher, you will be supported both by your supervisors and the wider Conservatoire research community. As well as bespoke research skills training for musicians and performing arts students, there are regular opportunities for you to present and share your work with other research students.
Why Choose Us?
Birmingham Conservatoire has a thriving research community, with particular specialisms in composition, music technology, musicology, performance, and performing arts.
Regardless of your specialism, you will benefit from access to top-level performers and a brand-new, £57 million building with state-of-the-art recording facilities, concert venues, and practice rooms.
Research students have access to a dedicated work space. We have close links with the city’s musical and theatrical organisations such as the CBSO, BCMG, The Rep Theatre, Midlands Arts Centre, and The Royal Shakespeare Company.
Music students are eligible to audition for our ensembles, and in addition, both Music and Performing Arts students can take part in a full range of our practical activities and lectures.
Our programme offers the flexibility to present your research in a range of formats, depending on the nature of your research, whether it be fully text-based (80,000 words) or practical (composition, performance, or scholarly edition) with a written element.
Entry Requirement
To apply for our Conservatoire Ph.D. research degree you should have, or expect to be awarded, a Masters degree in a relevant subject area from a British or overseas university.
Exceptional candidates without a Master's degree, but holding a first-class Bachelors degree in a relevant subject area, may be considered.
We also welcome enquiries from potential Ph.D. researchers without formal academic qualifications but with appropriate levels of professional experience.
UCAS tariff

Under the new UCAS tariff, this will equate to 112 points.
