For a full list of our current and recent music research projects, please see our Projects section. 

We are a leading UK music department for research with particular strengths in creative practice, cultural and critical musicology, early music, ethnomusicology and global musics, and vernacular and folk traditions.

We have an emerging profile as a centre for publicly-funded research projects across the full range of our research specialisms. These projects enable us to engage with the public as audiences, collaborators and beneficiaries. Recent grants from the AHRC, the EU, the British Academy, the MRC and other public bodies have enabled us to contribute to social well-being in the UK and abroad. Our research has an impact on public policy.

Information on individual projects, on-going and completed, can be found through the link on the left. (See also the Engagement and Impact section of this site.)
