This course is aimed at both graduates of, and practitioners in, music composition. You will build a strong and increasingly confident practice through awareness and interaction with current contexts of professional practice and research. This is an opportunity to compose larger scale works or create a portfolio of your own compositions at a high level.

You will have the opportunity to:
