MA Composition of Music for Film and Television This programme provides professional training in composition for screen media. Taught by staff and guest composers from the professional world, you will develop a strong technological foundation in the subject, along with specialist understanding of television and screen scoring.
The MA is taught within our high-specification composition and recording studios, which have full-time technical support. Students are actively encouraged to build opportunities and networks, both within and beyond the University, for projects in film, animation, documentary and more.
In the first semester, you will study units introducing you to working and recording in studios, and focusing on TV and documentary work. You will also take one elective unit. In the second semester, the programme moves on to critical analysis of media music and film scoring, with an emphasis on longer-term projects for film and TV. This work feeds into original collaborations that you may choose to include in your final portfolio.
There are four core units and you will be able to choose two optional units from a wide selection that address further compositional skills, research skills for musicians, writing and directing for film and television, and how film and television programmes work. You will also complete a media composition portfolio/dissertation: • either a substantial portfolio of original music for new collaborative films and/or extracts (music totalling 15-25 minutes);
• or music to one new collaborative film of 10-12 minutes and a critical dissertation of 10,000 words on an agreed film or topic
The vibrant musical life of the Department of Music provides opportunities for student and professional performance, and we are located at the heart of one of the UK’s leading cities for broadcast, commercial and creative screen media.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in music, plus experience as a composer, demonstrated by a portfolio of your music. For further information on the required portfolio please visit
bristol.ac.uk/music/study/ postgraduate/ma-cftv-portfolio/. Non- traditional qualifications/routes may also be considered.
MA Music There are five pathways in this flexible MA programme: • Composition • Medieval Music • Musicology • Performance • Russian Music
The units you take will vary according to your chosen pathway, but all include basic music training units, such as Research Skills for Musicians, specialised units specific to the pathway, and a large menu of optional units. These are followed by a major project: a musicological dissertation or edition for musicologists (including those on the Russian Music and Medieval Music pathways), a minor and a major recital for performers, or a portfolio of compositions for composers.
The content of this MA programme relates closely to the research interests of the academic staff.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) with suitable skills and experience in music. All applicants will be asked a series of subject- specific questions as part of the application.
Applicants for the Composition or Performance pathways are required to submit a portfolio of work; visit
bristol.ac.uk/music/study/ postgraduate/ma-music-portfolio. Non- traditional qualifications may also be considered.
