During the course of the programme, students engage in a research-based project. Students are required to choose a topic related to their instrument/voice. The project may consist of a written dissertation or a performance-related project integrating performance and other research outputs, such as a written commentary, scholarly editions, catalogues, artistic compositions, audio-visual and multimedia materials etc., depending on the nature of the project. The dissertation/project is formally completed in Research Studies 2. Research Studies 1 will introduce students to research techniques, compiling/managing bibliographies and academic writing. This module also supports Performance Studies 2 (the Lecture Recital).
The research techniques/methodologies, bibliography and academic writing will be delivered through six 1.5 hour lectures.
Students will make a presentation on their proposed dissertation topic at the end of semester 1, and will be assigned a supervisor who will mentor and guide the project through weekly meetings in semester 2.
