Inside the department

Alongside traditional music courses, we encourage open-minded debate and a commitment to all types of music.

Many of our events are free and open to the public.

Meet the Department of Music staff.

We lead research in theoretical areas - musicology, ethnomusicology, popular music - and in creative practice.

NX Records is our record label, directed by Matthew Herbert.

Our professional-level recording studios are available for both student and commercial use.

Established in 1968, the first permanent electronic music facility in the UK university sector.

Our alumni go on to become musicians and Mercury Prize-winning pop stars, to lawyers, academics and administrators.
