Music at Newcastle University is a creative hub of learning, research and creativity with high-specification purpose-built studio, rehearsal, and performance spaces.
We bring together musicology, performance, and composition, to offer degrees at undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD level.
We're based in the heart of Newcastle city centre and less than three hours from London by train.
The department is intimately connected with the city’s thriving musical life, from the Royal Northern Sinfonia Orchestra to the thriving DIY underground experimental scene at Star and Shadow.
