Creative Practice (Taught)

Why study MFA Creative Practice at Goldsmiths
Develop a distinctive, original and trans-disciplinary creative practice in (or related to) music through this programme.

• This unique programme comprises an inclusive, forward-thinking ‘making', composition and creative practice approach. It embraces broad conceptions of composition and performance and encourages multi-disciplinary and collaborative approaches to creative practice

• The programme is designed for creative practitioners and music artists who are seeking to deepen, challenge and uniquely blend practices in contemporary composition, songwriting and song-based music, sound art and electronic music, music production, performance, ethnographic film and multi-media or audio-visual work

• You will get to explore and develop your creative and research skills, which may span various disciplines, and may introduce you to London's world-leading music collections and institutions

• You can tailor your studies to your personal interests by developing your own coherent programme of study. You will select modules from an extensive list of taught options, and propose a significant body of work for your 180-credit creative project, which can also be proposed collaboratively. The outcomes of this work have the possibility of being professionally released by the Department’s record label, NX Records

• This programme also offers the opportunity for direct entry to the one-year Creative Project stage, providing you meet the necessary entry requirements

• The Department of Music houses state-of-the-art studios, which you will have access to.
