Course description
Students research and present a non-traditional thesis or research project on a topic approved by the course coordinator. The course provides students with the opportunity to develop a focused research project in a field appropriate to their interests and the School of Music's expertise, deploying suitable critical frameworks and research methodologies under the guidance and supervision of an academic staff member. Students obtain experience which may lead them to further research-based programs, such as the PhD. and a grounding in an area of professional interest that may enrich future professional practice.
