The School of Culture and Creative Arts at the University of Glasgow is home to Scotland’s leading research centre in Music. It has established a new suite of postgraduate programmes which have been especially designed to meet the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) needs of professional musicians and composers. Postgraduate Certificates and Diplomas in Composition are available to both full-time and part-time students.

New for 2012 - composer workshops with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra

The RSNO will be offering a series of workshops with a sinfonietta sized ensemble starting in November 2012, specifically for postgraduate composition students, leading to possible performance opportunities. This will provide a supportive professional context in which our postgraduate composers can develop their work, and will complement existing ensemble workshop opportunities with groups such as the Viridian Quartet and the student-led contemporary music ensemble.
