Master of Music Programme

The Master of Music (MMus) programme is a taught master's programme at Level 9 on Ireland’s National Framework of Qualifications. The Conservatoire offers three MMus specialisms: Performance, Conducting and Composition.

The MMus programme aims to facilitate the artistic, intellectual and creative development of each student by providing an integrated and structured programme with practical experience in a wide range of contexts, underpinned by complementary research and professional studies.

The programme is delivered either in 1 year full-time or in 2 years part-time. 

Research Programmes

Research programmes lead to the awards of MPhil (generally 2 years full-time) or PhD (generally 4 years full-time).  These awards are aligned at Level 9 and Level 10 on Ireland’s National Framework of Qualifications.   

Ireland is a member of the European Higher Education Area, established to ensure more comparable, compatible and coherent systems of higher education in Europe. 

TU Dublin Conservatoire has a long tradition in the provision of performing arts education and artistic research, and its postgraduate programmes foster artistic, intellectual and creative development in performance, composition, pedagogy and musicology.

The Conservatoire is home to The Research Foundation for Music in Ireland, which promotes the dynamic musical life of Ireland. Given the centrality of music to Ireland’s culture, the Research Foundation advances the study and performance of music in Ireland to national and international audiences, to the scholarly community and to the music industry.

Students also benefit from being part of TU Dublin’s large research community through the Graduate Research School and collaborate with fellow artistic researchers at GradCAM: Graduate School for the Creative Arts and Media. 

Each student follows an individual practice-based artistic and research path, mentored by distinguished lecturers. The programmes are designed to ensure that graduates are well suited for careers in music performance, composition, music education, creative and cultural industries, as well as in academia and research.
